      Ex-lecturer sues Salem university N15m for unpaid salaries and allowances

      Ejirefe Influence, a former lecturer at Salem University in Lokoja, Kogi State, has taken the university and its Vice Chancellor, Prof. Alewu Johnson-Akubo, to the National Industrial Court over allegations of unpaid salaries, allowances, and pension deductions.

      In the suit, the lecturer told the court that he decided to seek legal redress when it became obvious to him that the University was not going to keep to its promises of paying his outstanding financial entitlements, after he resigned from his appointment with the school on July 6, 2022, due to the accumulated financial indebtedness.

      Ejirefe also stated that, prior to his resignation, he communicated in writing with the Vice-Chancellor of the University, giving the institution three months’ notice of his resignation in accordance with the terms of his appointment, and that the school’s failure to pay him all of his financial entitlements has caused him serious stress and hardship as an individual, as well as on his family, as he can no longer play his role as a father and a husband.

      He requested that the court award him N15 million in general damages for unpaid pay, allowances, and pension deductions from his monthly salary.
