Already, the university management has
stopped the payment of salaries of the affected workers and asked them
to reapply to undergo fresh screening in what is seen as a subtle way of
offloading the workers. ''There is a bit of a mess that need to be
sorted out,” the Pubic Relations Officer of MOUAU, Mrs. Adanma Odefa,
said, adding that the problem was created by “the Professor Hillary
Edeoga administration (which) hired over 460 people improperly without
going the through the right procedure”.
“We have this 460 people who were given
temporary appointment and the procedure usually is when a staff has a
temporary appointment it elapses automatically after one year if it is
not renewed. The appointment of staff in question elapsed on February
this year,” she said.
However a member of staff of the
institution, who preferred not to be named, told THISDAY that “what we
are witnessing now is the triumph of a section of the academic staff
that are hell bent on rubbishing every thing that Prof Edeoga did
including the job opportunities he created for hundreds of people.”
