Senior Staff Association of Universities, Teaching Hospitals, Research Institutions and Associated Institution (SSAUTHRIAI) has charged the Federal Government to urgently review its policy on the TETFUND scheme to accommodate the Colleges of Agriculture and associated institutions.
The union in a statement signed by Sector Chairman, Abubakar Niworu and Secretary, Ademola Olajire also noted the need for the incorporation of the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) to assist the SSAUTHRIAI in the deduction of union dues, especially the colleges of agriculture and associated institutions.
The group further charged the Federal Government to involve relevant stakeholders in the ongoing review of the schemes and conditions of service so as to enhance hitch free working environment for colleges of education and associated institutions. While appreciating the efforts of the Federal Government in combating corruption and terrorism in the country, the group called for renewed efforts to end the insurgency in December.
Meanwhile, SSAUTHRIAI has also chided calls for the commercialization and privatisation of the country’s teaching hospitals and federal medical centres.
The union noted that such action would hamper Nigerian’s accessibility to health care.
Contained in a communiqué signed by Acting President, Mr B. A. Akintola and General Secretary, Mr M. O. Akinade at the end of the National Executive Council meeting held at its National Headquarters, Ibadan, the union noted that the clamour of the outright sale of such institutions under the guise of public and private partnership to make them more efficient was inimical to the health of Nigerians.
Among other issues resolved at the end of the two-day meeting was the charge on the Federal Government to ensure that Chief Executive Officers of Federal Teaching Hospitals, Research Institutes and Colleges of Agriculture be selected from direct employees of such establishments.
