Circular To The University Community

The attention of the University Management has been drawn to the rumours being widely circulated that the students of the University are expected to vacate the campus.

We wish to assure all students that the University Academic Calendar for the 2017/2018 Academic Session is very much on course. As there are no plans to compel students to vacate the campus until the end-of year holidays, all members of the University community must be unanimous in the resolution to ensure that the Calendar remains sacrosanct.

The University Management therefore enjoins all students and staff to continue their normal activities in line with the University’s approved guidelines.

The University Management will like to assure all staff and students of their welfare and safety at all times.

Thank you

M. I. Omosule (Mrs.)
Registrar

Minimum Wage: NLC Suspends Strike

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has called off the nationwide industrial action initially scheduled to commence on November 6 to further press for workers’ demand for new national minimum wage.

The President of the NLC, Ayuba Wabba, said this on Monday night in Abuja while addressing journalists at the end of a meeting of the tripartite committee set up by government to negotiate labour’s demand.

Organised labour had threatened to commence nationwide strike on November 6 should government fail to accede to its N30,000 minimum wage demand. The federal government had offered to pay N24,000 while some state governments are even offering less.

But briefing journalists on Monday night, Mr. Wabba said, “The tripartite negotiating committee this evening concluded its assignment. Agreement has been reached and also documents have been signed. The report will be submitted to Mr. President tomorrow by 4:15pm.

“Therefore, as organised labour, we want to use this medium to thank all the tripartite partners for their understanding and importantly for concluding this very national assignment.

“And having reached this position, and also the fact that the assignment has been concluded, organised labour also decided that the proposed industrial action is hereby suspended.

“Therefore, we thought this should be communicated appropriately without also any delusion or missing information.

“As the chairperson have said, mutual agreements have been reached and this will be make public tomorrow and we must appreciate the roles that organised private sectors have actually demonstrated and the attitude brought to this process and to members of the tripartite negotiating team.”


The Chairperson, Tripartite Committee, Amma Pepple, corroborated Mr Wabba’s claim, saying her committee had reached a truce and concluded its assignment.

“We are going to present our report to Mr President tomorrow at 4:15pm and he will reveal the figure that we have recommended,” she said.

Meanwhile, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, commended members of the committee for their time and commitment to the long and tortuous negotiation processes.

“I am confident that government will give expeditious consideration of the report tomorrow by Mr President and very soon the processes will be put in place to truly actualise your recommendations so that the status of our working populace will be enhanced and they would receive appropriate and commensurate payments for the services they offer to our nation and to the different sectors of our economy,” he said.

Government and labour had been at loggerheads over the demand for a new minimum wage. Labour says the minimum wage of N18,000 is paltry and no longer acceptable.

By John Beloved

This decision was reached at a congress held last thursday which was fully graced by most students of the department that
Mr Akinkunmi Sodiq Opeyemi should be relieved of his duty.

This is coming after OAU Peeps News Agency, revealed after investigations how Akinkunmi Sodiq Opeyemi single-handedly embezzled over 0.5million Naira belonging to the association.

This had lead to a congress  and  consensus reached immediately for his impeachment.

Speaking with OAU Peeps Afolabi David, the public relation officer of the association confirmed the impeachment of the president at the congress.

According to him the impeachment of the president was at first a demand by the panel before it was moved as a motion in the congress.
 
 "The only thing i can say is the deed has been done and the president has been impeached. ""- the P.R.O. said.
   
 He further said" Well it was according to the constitution and according to what was recommended by the panel set up, the panel demanded that the president be impeached then it was moved as a motion by the congress men."

However, while speaking with OAU Peeps News Agency, the speaker, Saliu Abdulrauf expressed his disappointment in a leader whom according to him was well trusted and respected.

" He was impeached for misconduct and misappropriation of funds,embezzlement of funds by the president who we all trusted. When we found out he was involved in such an act, I was really surprised." Rauf said

"However the vice president should be taking  over leadership although students are clamouring over her incapability." He added

OAU Peeps News Agency gathered  that there's  a kind of perceived controversy amidst  the students of the department on the capability and efficiency of the Vice President who according to the constitution is expected to replace the impeached president.

In an interaction with a student who pleaded anonymity with OAU Peeps News Agency, she expressed disbelief in the capability and capacity of the Vice president if allowed to assume power.
"A diplomat student over BSC?"  She questioned.

Students of the department had been earlier bewildered by how the  president of the association had singlehandedly embezzled the association funds using fraudulent means as reported.

It should be recalled that in an earlier report that the embattled/impeached  President, Akinkunmi Sodiq had already confessed to the university investigative department after being drilled of  his fraudulent activities and affirmed been guilty singlehandedly excluding other executives

OAUTHC Management Threatens To Fire Three Nurses For Putting On Trousers

The Director of Nursing of the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex,  Mr Onini Victor, has allegedly queried three nurses for putting on trousers at work.

It was gathered that the  nurses, Mrs Olaleye Nihmat, Mrs Alimat Aminat and Mrs Olabanji  were asked to remove their trousers and wear only a gown instead. The three nurses were chased out of the ward out of the teaching hospital on Tuesday and were warned seriously not to wear it again.

Investigations revealed that the nurses were threatened to be relieved of their duties if they continue to wear trousers.

According to one of the victims, Mrs Olaleye Nihmat, ” It is in our law that we can put on a trouser and the nurse gown but we were surprised when we were called by the director to see him in the office. When we got to his office, he ordered us to remove our trousers or else,  we will be fired.

“We said okay to him, and instantly ran to meet with the Muslim community. The Muslim community advised us to remove the trouser and promised to look into the matter. ”

When asked why she preferred to use the trouser on duty, she stated that she wore it based on a police set forth by the Nursing Council of Nigeria’s policies, which states that nurses can wear either a nurse cap or shoulder length Hijab with the trouser.

When contacted for comments, the Director of Nursing in the hospital, said that the nurses are only permitted to wear a gown and a small Hijab not trouser.

Contrary to his claims, a circular from Nursing & Midwifery Council Of Nigeria to the hospital authorities signed by P.N Ndatsu, through secretary general and sent to all directors of nursing, their deputies, chief medical directors, chief executives and principal, dated 11th February, 2002 with reference number N&MCN/CMF/721/1/3, where Section 2, subsection b(III) of the circulation made available to our correspondent on Wednesday, prescribes that the nurses are permitted to wear a trouser and a gown
with long sleeve.

However, all efforts by OAU Peeps News Agency to reach the Chief  CMD of the Teaching Hospital for comments proved abortive.
