The Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union, COEASU, says it is appalled at the government’s decision to exclude some workers, including lecturers and other workers in the tertiary institutions from the recent salary increase.
The Union said the action was an attempt by the Federal Government to divide Nigerian workers and cause confusion within the system.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the president of COEASU, Dr Smart Odunayo Olugbeko, on Wednesday, in Abuja
Olugbeko said the discriminatory increase was an attempt to promote divide and rule and make Nigerian workers unable to speak with one voice on the issues that affect their general welfare.
The Union, therefore, called on the Federal Government to, as a matter of urgency, return to the renegotiation table to conclude the renegotiation, which includes salary increases for academic staff in Colleges of Education
