EKSU Staff Unions Embark On Strike Over Non-Payment of Salaries

The staff of Ekiti State University (EKSU), Ado-Ekiti, has gone on
total strike over non-payment of two months salaries and earned
allowances by the management.
The decision to embark on the strike action was arrived at a meeting
attended by members of the four unions led by their chairmen,
Comrade Kolawole Falade (SSANU), Prof Olu Olu (ASUU), Comrade
Tope Akanmu (NASU) and Comrade Jola Awogbemi (NAAT).
Speaking on behalf of the unions, the SSANU chairman, Kolawole
Falade, said that workers in the universities were groaning following
non-payment of their salaries due to the state government's non-
payment of subvention to the university since August and vowed not
to return to work until their outstanding allowances are paid.
According to him, the workers are demanding payment of their
salaries for two months, payment of excess work load since 2011
and responsibility allowance for non-teaching staff since 2008.
The workers are also agitating that the name of the university be
changed back to University of Ado Ekiti which everybody prefers.
