Health workers at the University of Lagos Medical Centre staged a protest against their exclusion from recent payments of unpaid arrears of the Consolidated Non-Teaching Tools Allowance (CONTTA). The protest was led by the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union. The University of Lagos Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Folasade Ogunsola, addressed the workers at the Senate building, stating that the situation differed from other universities and that she would fight for their cause, but emphasized that the final decision rested with the government.
SSANU UNILAG chapter Chairman, Dr Ademola Yusuf, described the exclusion as deeply troubling and called for fairness and equity, highlighting the economic hardships faced by health workers due to inflation.
