The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has called on Governor Simon Bako Lalong of Plateau State to as a matter of urgency, release the sum of N310 million for the payment of Earned Allowances owed SSANU members in Plateau State University from 2010 to 2020.

The NEC in a Communique issued at the end of its 41st regular meeting held on Thursday 20th to Friday 21st January, 2022 at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State, also called on the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Yohanna Izam, to mainstream Hazard Allowance to SSANU members’ salaries in the University at the Governing Council's approved rate of N30,000 since the State Government has released funds for the full implementation of the allowance.

While reading the Communique, the National President of SSANU, Comrade Mohammed Haruna Ibrahim said, "NEC is aware that Plateau State University, Bokkos is on strike. NEC therefore calls on the Governor Simon Lalong led administration to release the sum of N310 million for the payment of arrears of Earned Allowances to SSANU members in PLASU. It also calls on the Prof. Yohanna Izam led Management to mainstream Hazard Allowance to SSANU members’ salaries in PLASU at the Governing Council approved rate of N30,000 since the State Government has released funds for same purpose".

The Communique further called on the state government to address all other issues that led to the declaration of the indefinite strike in the University as well as called on the management of the University to comply with the decision of SSANU NEC on the correct payment of check off dues to the Union without imposing conditions that are alien to the Trade Union Act.

It would be recalled that PLASU SSANU branch declared an indefinite strike on 21st December, 2021 following the failure of the state government and the University administration to address some of the union's grievances as contained in the 21 days and 4 weeks ultimatum letters dated 2nd July and 3rd August, 2021 respectively. 

The Chairman, Comrade Timnan Rimdap and Secretary, Comrade Fom Dakwak, in the strike declaration letter dated 21st December, 2021 highlighted some of the union's demands to include; mainstreaming of hazard allowance at the Council approved rate, payment of arrears of Earned Allowances, payment of arrears of the New Minimum Wage from April 2019 to December 2020, addressing the issue of haphazard payment of salaries, constitution of a Board to manage the staff gratuity fund, implementation of the CONTISS 15 salary grade level, calculation of annual leave based on working days and compliance with SSANU NEC decision on the correct payment of check off dues to the union. 

As at the time of filing this report, the union insisted that non of the issues highlighted above has been addressed since the declaration of the strike on 21st December, 2021.
