While they have vowed not to receive any ‘nonsense’ salary again from the University, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Idowu Olayinka has also painted a gloomy picture, saying that the federal allocation being received now could not take care of the staff’s demands, translating to hopelessness in many parents who had thought that their wards would soon resume for their studies.
The VC during a press conference addressed Tuesday hinted that since the students were asked to go home five weeks ago, nothing had happened in terms of repairs or provision of the needed amenities, due to paucity of funds.
However, the ASUU Chairman, University of Ibadan Chapter, Dr Deji Omole said that the union members had reached their patience limit and had therefore resolved to receive their full salaries from the Federal Government and not to receive part-payment of their salaries again.
He stated that since January this year, staff at the university had been told to wait for the signing of the budget for full payment of salaries, but that to their consternation, the President Mohammadu Buhari-led Federal Government immediately implemented the hike in fuel price while starving workers of their salaries.
