Professors under their umbrella, the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP), refuted the allegation in a statement made available by its publicity secretary, Abdullahi Yalwa.
According to ASUP, CVCNU's assertion that professors in Nigerian universities earn less than lecturers in polytechnics and colleges of education, as stated in the report submitted by CVCNU to the government during the meeting of Vice-Chancellors, Chairpersons of Federal Universities Boards of Trustees and the Minister of Education on September 6 in Abuja.
The union said that although CVCNU's position was made to vindicate the legitimate demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) for a salary increase and also to support the aspirations of ASUU, issuing "False statements such as they affect the emoluments of other workers at other levels of higher education in the country will only undermine the same aspiration."
The union further stated that "aside from lying, it is also inappropriate that CVCNU made such a statement at a time when ASUP is also renegotiating its members' emoluments".
He said this could create a false impression about the emoluments of workers at polytechnics and colleges of education and thereby undermine the ongoing renegotiation process with the government.
The union said: 'Undoubtedly, CVCNU has access to the salary structures of the various cadres of higher education personnel in the country and therefore has no reason to indulge in unnecessary extrapolations.
"We believe that the agitation for the salary review in the university system can credibly take place without such a spurious reference, as it can only breed unnecessary rivalry in the sector.
“Thus, we affirm our position as a union that the government and ASUP must remain faithful to the principles of collective bargaining to arrive at any revision of wages in the current situation in accordance with best practices in relations industry."
