You have some points there. But the money is 'earned'. They should present evidence that they have earned it rather come to the media to seek for public sympathy.

One of the major component of earned allowance is 'excess workload allowance'. Everything concerning teaching in federal universities is governed by NUC regulations. An academic staff is expected to have a certain contact hour per week. A class is expected to have a certain number of students depending on the programme. An academic staff is also expected to mark a certain number of scripts per semester. We all know these regulations are not strictly adhered to by our universities. So, an academic staff will naturally accumulate these allowances over a period of time.

For non-teaching staff, they are like mainstream civil service expect for academic technologists. They are employed to work 8am to 4pm. Most of the NUC regulations does not apply to them. And remember for every 3 academic staff there should be 1 non-teaching staff. I am sure you and I know that this is not what is obtainable in our universities.

Based on above factors their earned allowances will generally be low compared to academic staff because of the parameters used in computing the allowances.

The 20% being given to them is generous. They should provide empirical evidence with necessary data if they feel they are cheated not mare media propaganda.

Truth be told, how can earned allowance that is the right of all staff in the university be cornered by a section of staff. Whether you are the one that attracted or not, everyone should get his due.

Ask yourself, if ASUU takes larger share of EA that every staff is entitled to, just because they made more noise about it, are they any different from the politicians they're fighting?

bahaushe1:


You are right it is 'earned allowance'. So let them go and prove that they have 'earned' it rather than come to the media. It is not the public that shares the money.

mvem:
it is called EAA. Earned Academic Allowances. SSANU/NASU members are not academics staff...these allowances are for excess academic workload, and other academic duties by academics staffs...so what is SSANU actually saying. They should give them academic allowances when they are non- teaching staff

loko50:
information is power it's called earned allowance the media keep twisting heads like yours writtiing academic earned allowance,all the unions in the university system had an agreement in 2009 which the government promised to uphold ,by now if the government had been sincere they ought to have implemented it rather than working on how to pay deficits of years of arrears.

It is EAA not EA, barawo

And once 3:55pm nack, their bags are ready.. the ones who will join bodies to transport them they will have confirmed movement

4:00pm they zoom out.. as in they will never stay a second more. If money no dey involved they won't wait a fraction of a second more..

Maybe the ones working for principal officers are more coordinated..

but the rest mistake especially the NASU lower cadres....

You practically have to beg them if you want to do anything in the departmental office as an academic staff...

Very lazy

membranus:


It is Earned Academic Allowance EAA, not Earned Allowance.

Pls be guided.

Samakus:


Either you're playing to the gallery or you're ignorant of the happenstances in the university system.

A little education, should I?

There are 4 unions in the university and each had a 2009 agreement for earned allowances (which ASUU christened EAA). Government has released money for the accumulated earned allowances to be paid to all the unions. And you think that one union should have the bulk of it?

Allow the university governing council which is the employer of all staff in the university to determine who gets what, when and how. Is that what ASUU has been fighting for? University autonomy! How can you now usurp the university governing council to received EA through NUC?

Yenefer:
ASUU is a corrupt union fighting to keep looting money thru Gifmiss without transparency

Black052:
If ASUU comes to public to relay there grievances with government it's nit a big deal buh it's no bodies business if other unions do it right.

Samakus:
The biggest personal deceit you all are doing yourself is thinking that non teaching staff do nothing. Anyways, the leadership SSANU has now isn't like the old ones. Let the money be paid first and we see how it's done.

emmasege:
Lie!!!

It is called EARNED ACADEMIC ALLOWANCE from the onset, and if the non-academics also feel entitled, they can also call it EARNED NON-ACADEMIC ALLOWANCE. I think that appellation even sounds better as it will tell them how unjust their fight is. Their job is purely administrative and not different from the civil service, but that's not the case for academics who teach and supervise students, examine students and still conduct research.

Samakus:


Wonderful. Truly, we're all corrupt in this country.

Anyways, no need fighting online. The real fight comes soon

Samakus:


There's something very pitiable about someone who claims to be all knowing but ends up showing so much ignorance.

Peace brother

SavageMaster:


What have you done about all the corrupt Nigerian administrations that have looted trillions in the past couple of years?

bahaushe1:


I am surprised you view 'prove it' as corruption. How else do you want to get money that is suppose to be 'earned'?

No one gets earned allowance without proving it. We all have filled the forms.

Even among ASUU members not every person will get it. Many people will not get it. Some federal universities will not get anything because they did not exist as at 2016.

shadeyinka:

Lecturers don't only teach/work till 6pm
They take scripts home for marking
They read voluminous texts in the name of projects
They stay over to also conduct their research work.


Others staff don't take office work home
They don't take books home to read
They don't supervise students work



And you say they should earn the same EA?

Nwadiuto247:


It is called Earned Academic Allowance [EAA)

SSANU created their own as Earned Allowance.

ASUU goes all the way to negotiate their own,. After all the suffering, SSANU will want it to be shared.

If you think what SSANU is doing is good then let somebody struggle to share your hard earned harvest with you

Samakus:


Nobody is saying, earn the same thing. After all, Conuass is higher than contiss but a situation where teaching staff collect 80% of EA is unacceptable. Let the university governing council, who is your employer determine who earns what, and how.
