Not less than 30 members of the Academic Staff Union of University, ASUU have resigned from Sa’adu Zungur University, SAZU in Bauchi State.

The Zonal Coordinator of ASUU Bauchi Zone, Namo Timothy disclosed this at a press conference at Yuli Campus of the university on Friday.

Timothy noted that the Sa’adu Zungur University, SAZU a state government-owned varsity, is in the shadow of death due to poor handling of affairs of the university and well-being of its members.

While calling on the Bauchi government to declare a state of emergency on the university to reverse trends of poor handling of affairs over the years, the ASUU Coordinator explained that “Until and unless this is done, the ASUU branch zone can no longer guarantee industrial harmony between members of the ASUU SAZU branch and the university administration.

“The zone has engaged key stakeholders and exchanged several correspondences in an attempt to resolve these issues to no avail.”

He lamented that ASUU members at SAZU do not have a pension nor death benefit scheme as obtained in a structured public service regulation across the country.

According to him, the SAZU administration owed its members Earned Academic Allowance and Excess Work Load Allowance to the tune of over 650 million naira from 2012 to date.

Timothy also decried how a HND graduate was appointed Bursar of the university contrary to the provision of service of the university which spelt that only candidates with a minimum of first degree would be considered for appointment as Bursar.

“This has not only dampened the morale of our members in the university but forced many, including 30 trained PhD holders to resign and migrate to other institutions where their future is secured,” he added.

The Coordinator called on the Bauchi government and the university administration to put in place a comprehensive exit policy covering pension and death benefits for staff.

Long hiss...
Imagine the discrimination. One would've thought it was an SSCE holder that was appointed.

ASUU IMSU are on strike

Hv

It is well...

Mismanagement and Nigeria are siamese twins.

When you cannot meet up with your financial obligations, you find somewhere else to pitch your tent.

Plethora of times, the union keep drumming for support in the Uni through every possible means. Nigerian lecturers, especially, fed govt are the worst paid in the world with little to no quality work condition.

I left last year as well. What you will have left in few years from now are native doctors or 'condoctors'

We spend a lot of money getting PhD only to be paid less than 1 million naira as salary.
Goodluck to all the comrades that resigned.

Eyah.

The useless governor is busy fighting Wike instead of facing the governance of his state while lecturers at his state university are leaving in droves. Nonsense

Damnnn niggar

when you don't value what you have.
If I have PhD I won't be in this God forsaken country.
I will be far away in Canada or Swiss where I will be earning hard currency.

Lectures and teachers in Nigeria are not valued.

Tell me Hamster Kombat is not responsible

Hmm

30 is a lot

Lols..... 30 PhD holders resigned after Govt sponsored their doctorate studies

Them don run government street

Rubbish!

Is he saying that the 30PhD holders resigned because a HND graduate was made bursar of the school

Kí ló dé?

school of see finish.

So many are resigning. Lecturing has become more frustrating than ever. Still earning a 2009 salary scale in 2024? Not worth it
