Federal University of Technology Akure
Some workers of the Federal University of Technology Akure, Ondo State, on Thursday, staged a protest on the campus of the institution against the alleged failure of the management to pay their allowances.
The workers, under the auspices of the National Association of Non-Teaching Staff of Nigerian Universities, FUTA branch, alleged that the institution had paid the allowances to members of staff who belonged to other associations on the campus but left them out.
The angry workers, who were chanting various solidarity songs, marched to the office of the Vice-Chancellor to express their grievance, vowing to cause unrest in the university until their demand was met.
Speaking during the protest, the union’s Chairman, Adebayo Aladerotohun, said the allowances- the Consolidated Tools Tertiary Institutions Allowance and End Allowances- had been approved by the Federal Government, but the institution allegedly failed to pay members of his association.
