ASUU warns UNILORIN on ‘plan’ to share N30b fund

The Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU) has warned the authorities of the
University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) not to share
the N986.7 million earned allowance disbursed
to it by the Federal Government until the end
of the ASUU strike.
The Zonal Coordinator of ASUU (Ilorin Zone),
Dr Ayan Adeleke, spoke yesterday in Ibadan, the
Oyo State capital.
He said the authentic ASUU Chairman at
UNILORIN, Dr. Taiwo Oloruntoba-Oju, had
conveyed the position of the union to the Vice-
Chancellor, Prof AbdulGaniyu Ambali, that the
struggle for funding was still going on.
The lecturer warned that universities should not
betray the struggle by disbursing the earned
allowances until the end of the agitation for the
union’s demands.
It was learnt that UNILORIN workers were
discussing with the university’s management
the modalities to share the university’s share of
the N30 billion earned allowances from the
Federal Government.
Dr Adeleke, who denounced the Prof Wahab
Egbewole-led faction, said: “The group had been
declared illegal by the National Industrial
Court. Whatever they are doing is illegal.”
