Uniosun Pro-Chancellor Seeks Salary Increment For Lecturers

The Pro-Chancellor, Osun State University (UNIOSUN), Mallam Yusuf Ali, SAN, has requested the federal government to review the salaries of lecturers across the nation to match the level of inflation.

Ali made this call while speaking at the 11th convocation ceremony of UNIOSUN which took place in the Olagunsoye Oyinlola Auditorium.

According to the pro-chancellor, the government has not increased lecturers' salaries for the past 16 years despite the rising inflation.

“Lecturers are buying from the same market as any other person’s shop.

"Meanwhile, the last time their salaries were increased was about 15 years ago. It is obvious that our educational system is undergoing Tsunami like changes but unfortunately negatively.

“In order to address the problem of incessant strikes by various unions in the universities, it is high time the salaries of workers in the universities be reviewed upward, to meet the realities of inflation.

"Going forward, we should put in place a system of automatic adjustment of salaries, within an agreed time frame, say between 2 to 3 years to address inflationary trends in the economy, as it happens in other places,” he said.
