“JAC had during conciliatory meetings with the Hon Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen Chris Ngige alongside other Government officials insisted on the release of the findings of the forensic audit of the previous disbursements, this we believe, if done, will clearly indicate the actual success or otherwise of the previous payments. However, till today, nothing of that nature was done.

“We have also queried the opaque formula used in coming up with this skewed and unscientific disbursements.

“We want to state categorically that our members have been pushed to the wall and cannot continue to allow this injustice. We are currently discussing with our members across the nation and we cannot guarantee continuous industrial harmony in the public Universities and Inter-University Centres in Nigeria if and when this current disbursement is allowed to materialise.

“We are therefore urgently requesting for an immediate suspension of this vexatious disbursement and hereby implore the relevant Government agencies saddled with this important assignment to go back to the table and rework the template of disbursement with a view to coming up with a more realistic and acceptable allocation formula that will be fair to all members of staff in the University system.

“For the records, we in JAC are not competing with any other Union or its members but are strong believers of giving to Caesar what is Caesar’s “.
