Non-academic staff of the Obafemi Awolowo
University (OAU), Ile-Ife has paralysed academic
activities in
the campus over non-payment of their hazard
allowance approved by the federal government
since 2013.
But the management in a circular obtained
through the Public Relations Officer of the
institution, Mr. Abiodun Olarewaju, explained that
the university would pay the workers as soon as
it gets the allowance from the federal government.
The workers under the aegis of Non Academic
Staff Union (NASU) shut down all facilities on the
campus including the senate building, health
centre and library.
They also blocked all entrance to the university
thus preventing vehicular movement in and out of
the institution. The protest took another serious
dimension on Tuesday as power and water
supplies were totally shut down.
The chairman of the NASU, OAU chapter, Comrade
Wole Odewunmi, explained that, “after this, if the
management refuses to respond to our demand,
we will notify the management of our strike
action. This is just a notification ahead of our
strike action.
“We met with the pro-chancellor but his response
does not suite us. After I took the report of the
meeting to our members, they decided that we
should make our agitation known to the
management and the public.
“For the past 64 months, we are owed hazard
allowance and we have had several meetings but
yielded no results.
“The two parties – government and management-
keep pushing blames on one another and it is this
people that we know that we will protest to.”
The protest will enter its fifth day by tomorrow
Thursday.
