NASU warns against workers’ pay cut

In a statement released on Sunday, General Secretary Peters Adeyemi called the decision to cut federal workers’ wages “provocative. On May 4, Finance Minister Zainab Ahmed made the announcement at the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission’s National Policy Dialogue on Corruption and Cost of Governance (ICPC). The National Employment, Incomes, and Wages Commission (NSIWC) has been directed to study existing salaries, according to Ahmed. The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President, Ayuba Wabba, cautioned that the plan amounted to “mass suicide.” NASU praised the administration for paying wages on time, but said the decision to implement a pay cut would be a win for those willing to be insensitive to workers’ plight. “Rather than leave workers to remain in their current state of want, they have decided to provoke and incite them against the same government they… Read more »

UNIBEN warns admission seekers against racketeers

Admissions applicants to the University of Benin (UNIBEN) have been warned against racketeering practices by the university’s administration. Dr Benedicta Ehanire, the university’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), said on Saturday that racketeers had been raising large amounts of money from unsuspecting applicants in order to encourage entry. Swindlers often walk into the university’s admission offices and administration building to make their sinister deeds appear true, according to Ehanire. As a result, the PRO cautioned the public not to fall victim to such schemes, noting that there was no fee for admission to the university. He did, however, urge any survivor of the heinous act to return to her office with evidence in order to help the university repair its reputation. Whistleblowers, she said, would be considered for admission if they were eligible.
