The National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT) has demanded the immediate payment of three and a half months of withheld salaries and allowances.

Its President, Ibeji Nwokoma, in a communiqué issued yesterday after an emergency meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the association, also called for the immediate settlement of arrears, including three and a half months of withheld salaries, as well as 12-month arrears of the 25 per cent and 35 per cent salary increase.

Nwokoma further expressed concern over the growing trend of the dissolution of duly appointed and inaugurated University Governing Councils, noting that the frequent disruptions hindered the smooth operation of laboratories, workshops, studios, financial disbursements, research, and development, which directly affected academic technologists’ welfare, training, and career progression.
