One example is Tai Solarin College of Education, Omu Ijebu, Ogun State where lecturers are being owed up to 13 months’ salaries as of the end of June.
In reaction to this, lecturers have stayed away from the school in order to seek other ways to earn a living.
Student Union President, Ibrahim Dario, speaking during a protest against the lecturers’ plight, said that the students lamented that they are not being thought despite the fact that they pay the required school fees.
Another university struggling with unpaid wages is Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo state, where lecturers are being owed up to three months salaries.
The workers have reportedly embarked on a strike on Monday, July 4, to protest the non payment of salaries.
Workers at the State University of Science and Technology, Okitipupa, have also embarked upon a strike for the same reasons.
One reason given for this problem is that the tertiary institutions have been having a shortfall of N301m in its allocation from the Federal Government since last December.
This was according to a statement by University of Ibadan,Academic Staff Union of Universities Chairman, Omole Ayodeji. The development, he said, had resulted in the workers being paid less than 100 per cent of their salaries.
A few weeks ago, its Vice-Chancellor of University of Ibadan, Prof. Idowu Olayinka, said that with 6,000 workers in its payroll, it needed about N878m to pay monthly salaries.
The Oyo State Government also owes members of staff of The Polytechnic, Ibadan. A source said the government owed workers in the school five months’ salaries.
Meanwhile, at the federal universities, including the University of Lagos, University of Nigeria and the University of Calabar, among others, their authorities have been regular with the payment of the workers’ salaries.
