Meanwhile, the non-teaching staff of universities have vowed not to go back to work if the Federal Government does not correct the alleged imbalance in the sharing formula of the about N40 billion Earned Allowances. 

It was alleged that the government gave the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, about 75 per cent of the Earned Allowances leaving 25 per cent for the other three unions of the Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities, SSANU, Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions, NASU and the National Association of Academic Technologists, NAAT to share. 

But NAAT and SSANU have threatened not to resume if the government did not correct the alleged imbalance in sharing the Earned Allowances, claiming that while ASUU has about 75 per cent of the money, each of the three unions would get less than nine per cent. 

Reacting to the sharing formula, the National President of NAAT, Comrade Ibeji Nwokomma said anyone thinking that the non-teaching staff unions in the universities would resume with the recent development was daydreaming except the government correct the imbalance. 

According to him, NAAT is rejecting the sharing formula of the Earned Allowances as it is being done presently by the government.

He said Government allocation of 75 per cent of the money to ASUU and 25 per cent to all other non-teaching unions in the universities, is grossly inadequate. 

He said he was making efforts to get in touch with the Director and Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education to draw their attention to the brewing crisis. 

Also speaking, the National President of SSANU, Comrade Mohammed Haruna Ibrahim said that his union would not take the lopsided sharing formula. 

Haruna tagged the sharing formulate as rumour stating that the least they can take is 50-50, as ASUU members he said are not more in numbers.
