The Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union has decried the exclusion of its members in the recent 40 per cent pay rise for federal workers.
The body commended the pay rise for civil servants, whom it described as “the drivers of government policies,” but noted that it was appalled at government’s “decision to exclude some categories of workers including lecturers and other workers in the tertiary institutions even though the various unions in the sector have made several overtures to government on salary increase.
In a statement made available to our correspondent on Wednesday, COEASU described the move by the government as a plot to create confusion.
“The present action is an attempt by the Federal Government to divide Nigerian workers and cause confusion within the system. The discriminatory increase is 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.
