The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has warned the Prof. Nimi-Briggs Committee that it will not accept salary disparity in university system.
The Briggs committee is renegotiating a 2009 agreement between university lecturers and the Federal Government.
SSANU National President, Mohammed Ibrahim, disclosed his association’s stand in a statement he issued in Abuja.
He said the association would take any legal action to ensure that it would not happen.
Ibrahim called on the committee to immediately reconvene to conclude the assignment given to it by discussing frankly and truthfully the 2009 renegotiation document presented to it.
He added that the non-teaching staff would not take it lightly any attempt to have different payment table for staff.
He said the university system is a universal system comprising two broad categories of staff, the teaching and the non-teaching staff and the salary consideration has always been the same, except for allowances.
Ibrahim,said the teaching and non-teaching staff play complementary roles in the university adding that there is no university community that can operate successfully without the two categories of staff.
