Congress Of Nigerian University Academics Pushes For More Pay Raises....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The Congress of Nigerian University Academics commended the Federal Government on Tuesday for granting a 35% and 23.5% wage increase to personnel in the country’s tertiary institutions.
However, the group called for another salary increase to better align with the financial challenges faced by staff after the removal of fuel subsidies. They emphasized their commitment to collaborating with the government on further salary adjustments, even though the initial increase was implemented before the subsidy removal.
Dr. Niyi Sunmonu, the national president of CONUA, issued a statement on Tuesday, recalling a conversation between CONUA representatives and former Minister of Labour Dr. Chris Ngige on May 3, 2023, following a court session.

The statement noted, “During the meeting, CONUA delegates expressed concerns about stagnant salaries. In response, the former Minister stated that the government’s commitment was limited to the offer announced by the former Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, in September 2022 at the State House.”
“CONUA delegates then urged the former Minister of Labour and Employment to consider raising the non-professorial cadre’s salary increment to 25%. Following extensive discussions on this matter and others, the Minister pledged to raise it with relevant government bodies, with potential payment commencing in May 2023.”
“While we appreciate the government’s recognition of academics through this award, we note that it was granted prior to the subsidy removal. We will continue engaging with the government to advocate for post-subsidy removal salary increases for academic staff, aligning with current economic realities.”
“We remain committed to working with the government to secure improved salaries for lecturers in Nigerian universities, enhancing their morale and curbing the issue of brain drain from these institutions.”
Earlier, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu approved a 35% and 23% salary increment for employees at all federal tertiary institutions. In a letter dated September 14 and addressed to the Minister of Education, Professor Tahir Mamman, the Chief Executive Officer of the Salaries, Income and Wages Commission, Ekpo U. Nta, confirmed that the federal government had issued a circular regarding the implementation of the adjusted salaries.
