Lecturers in the Nigerian colleges of education have extended their ongoing strike by three weeks reports.
The lecturers, under the aegis of Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union, blamed their decision on the failure of the Federal Government to embrace the union’s preference for the University Transparency Accountability System and failure of the state governments to address issues peculiar to state-owned colleges of education.
Most state governments are yet to address issues locally peculiar to state-owned colleges of education, especially in Oyo, Ogun, Kwara, Abia, Kogi, Kaduna, Zamfara, Yobe, Akwa Ibom, Benue, Edo, and Ebonyi states. In fact, the situation has further deteriorated in some of these states with the enforcement of the draconian rule of “no work, no pay” and victimisation of Union leaders.
The federal government is yet to come out clear on the Union’s preference for UTAS against the troublesome Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System..
