With this gesture of Mr. President, it seems to us that our Union has eventually found a Government that is compatible in disposition to our Union towards an alternative dispute resolution approach through constructive engagement, social dialogue and proactive bargaining characterized by mutual respect and pliability to superior logic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNonetheless, we urge the President to go a step further by deploying this promising disposition to urgently address the challenges of funding in the College of Education system and other tiers of the tertiary education sector altogether.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe call on Mr. President to always ensure that issues raised by labour are proactively dealt with through social dialogue and collective bargaining. By doing so, we can together ensure industrial tranquillity and an uninterrupted academic calendar in our institutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, the centralization of payroll administration through the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) undermines the statutory functions of the Governing Councils, and breaches the establishment integrity of the tertiary education sector in general and the College of Education system in particular.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt opens the payroll up to unilateral manipulations and all manners of fraud beyond the control of the management of our institutions. It has eroded the power and authority of Provosts and Governing Councils to employ as the office of the Head of Service determines who and when to employ.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIPPIS contravenes global best practices in the management of tertiary institutions and disrespects the peculiarities of the COE system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. President also needs to address the unlawful sack of Governing Councils in violation of their statutory tenure of three years and contravention of the FCE Establishment Act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf equal concern to our Union is the need to conclude the long overdue renegotiation of COEASU-FG 2010 agreement; upward review of the monthly running grant being given to the Managements of Colleges of Education and timely release of the fund.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cResolution of the issue of outsourced services particularly security and cleaning; and the implementation, without further delay, of the special bursary and grant to education students in Universities and Colleges of Education\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
