University of Ibadan begins industrial action

All is not well with the ivory tower, University of Ibadan as academic and administrative activities were paralysed at the institution on Monday.

The Non-academic staff unions
continued their warning strike on Monday to demand full payment of salaries and arrears from January
2016 to date.

Staff of the university have since January 2016 been collecting incomplete salaries due to shortfall of allocation from the federal government to the institution.

The unions had ordered their members to go home last week Friday after holding a joint congress at the university entrance gate forcing people to trek distances to their destinations.

However, in a post on the social media, Bursar of the University Michael Alatise disclosed that the university has now received payment of shortfalls covering January to April, 2016 with directive of the Vice Chancellor, Professor Idowu Olayinka that the money be paid.
