The Presidency, through the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, has directed the Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University, Otuoke, Bayelsa State, Prof. Mobolaji Aluko, to refund over-payment of salaries running into millions of naira.
The Registrar of the university, David Suowari, was also directed to refund cumulatively the sum of N130,692.71 per month in excess of his due salary.
The over-payments were said to have been discovered during the commission’s visit to the institution on May 12, 2015 to carry out inspection of FUO’s remuneration practices vis-a-vis the extant government’s pay policy.
The VC and the Registrar were accused of appropriating certain allowances to themselves that were not approved by the government.
These concerns were raised in a letter from NSIWC to Aluko, signed for the Chairman of the Commission by the Director of Compensation, Chike Ogbechie.
The commission said, “The findings of the inspection in respect of your institution (Federal University, Otuoke) were as follows:
“The Vice-Chancellor was being paid total emoluments of N1,970,476.76 monthly, whereas he should not earn more than N922,810.23 if he were paid furniture allowance en bloc earlier, or N1,043,176.79 if he were being paid furniture allowance.

“Much of the difference was attributed to certain allowances which were not approved by the government.”
In the case of the Registrar, the commission said the Registrar was being paid N130,692.71 in excess of his due salary of N502,580.25.
The commission also said the university disaggregated its staff salaries, against government’s policy of pay consolidation.
The NSIWC, therefore, directed the university to stop “the wrongful practices” and comply with relevant rules and rates.
The commission added, “We hereby direct the Vice-Chancellor and the Registrar to refund the cumulative overpayments made to them.

Which enemies of VC Aluko are at work ?
It is ONLY BUHARI, that is an enemy to any impropriety. The rest of our enemies would be his agents.
Anyway, V C Aluko can now present consultancy service charges for his roles during the elections . He kept us on track on PVC, formulated some policy directives on state creations and on new energy policies in Nigeria. Lol
Let's pray the recovery commission visits other universities and other relevant government agencies for same reasons they visited Otueke.
We are fond of accusing our politicians for looting while ignoring that perm secs and other top civil servants may be equally guilty.
Maazi Aluko won't have a fight over this if he believes the charges are right.
The commission did not say Aluko stole and we won't say such either. Aluko won't steal.
There are other smarter ways any VC can rob us. It cannot be by salary discrepancies.
A lot of profs charge sex for grades and some charge money. In that way they rob us all by producing graduates that cannot compete well in the work force and skills overseas. They rob our families of money in addition to the salaries we pay them.
My concern though is our governments rob us too . We spend a lot clothing our workers, buying them cars, paying for their cooks and stewards, paying for their expense on women, buying them furniture and probably paying for their wedding.
Our slow to action president may have to look into this especially into clothing our none uniformed civil servants.

Aluko
You once announced some money disbursed to your school by the federal government and you said what you would do with it.
I saw that behavior as an unusual , unNigerian. That alone trapped me to you as one person I must follow closely here.
I believe you are home to prove those of us here can help in building Nigeria and do so more honorably than the usual . That is a vow I believe you have maintained .
Now you have seen how " all have sinned" can falsely make a Lucifer out of a clean spirited saint .
Sometimes I wondered how some of you would forgo Pizza, fried rice with 4 chicken wings, Dunkin Donuts , bright lights day and night, Dominican and other varieties of babes, possibility of getting a another heart should the one one has fails, or a machine to takes over your physiological heart like Dick Chenny has, forgo heaven almost , to pick a post at home, and share a table with others stained by a general sin, corruption.
Only a few like 5 of you , you said, would do it. It won't be nice to end such patriotism with a slight from same people you served.
I do hope they publish your version of this story while we watch how every thing plays out.
I hope you found some smiles in my usual drift.

As to the allegation themselves, enemies or not, when questions are raised of public officials, accountability is essential. Be sure of this: they are ABSOLUTELY untrue, and there is no disaggregation of the salaries. I am not getting A SINGLE PENNY of SALARY beyond what is approved. What is being considered additional is ALLOWANCE to three of us DIASPORA VCs (Otuoke, Kashere, Wukari) all of us who are on SABBATICAL without PAY from our foreign institutions, but who yet require to do two CO-PAYMENTS of both our health insurance and our pension contributions for our families that still live abroad, and to which we intend to return after our national service stint - all things being equal. Without those allowances, which amount to almost 80% of our basic salaries, we will be left with almost no money from our local salaries, and not a single one of us would have accepted the VC job - unless they want us to steal government money!Which we were not ready to do, and have NOT done....In any case, we are in the fifth and final year of our VC terms - so why is it just now that some UNVERIFIED letter is purportedly being written?
Dan:Are sure VC Aluko understands what you writing? We pray that VC Aluko was not overpaid. Because if he was an honest VC, as soon as he noticed that he was overpaid, he would have returned the overpayments. Even the latrine cleaner in Lagos returned Nmillions she found in the bathroom at the airport.Look. I am surprised that Aluko accepted a VC appointment that paid him N1,000,000 per month only. Let see. That is like $5,000 per month. That is like $60,000 per year. He is either a patriot who was willing to serve his country at slave wages, or he knew that somehow, he can average double that and more, or he is stupid. We will find out the real reason he agreed to accept the appointment.I wonder how the University Public Relations officer, Mercy, is doing these days? She is not overpaid. She deserves everything she is paid and more. I would not be surprised if she gets paid more than the VC. They lay a good one on you, withhold it unless, and they always get their way. More pay and the road is clear again.And I amEzeana Igirigi AchusimOdi-IsaaNwa Dim Orioha aKa OnyeukwuSent from my iPhone

Dear All:How many Americans make $60, 000,00 per year excluding perks, like free official transportation to work, free coffee/tea plus peak milk plus cabin biscuit while at work, plus other benefits too nebulous to mention. According to my brother Wilson Iguade, $60, 000.00 is NOT a slave wage by any standard.Let us endeavor to be reasonable at all times.CheersLA

Believe me, it takes some special love of town by some people such as Aluko did to get into a system where every man that wears a pant is presumed to be endowed down there. Some of us won't do what Aluko did, accepting a post in Nigeria in preference to staying here and doing a full time for such money he is paid in Nigeria ,and some few hours somewhere else for almost 50% of his base.
Moreover it is not a position like minister where one can say he will make money by being a good friend and awarding contracts. Teachers at all levels, VC to a kindergarten are all same by calling . We do not usually expect dishonesty . The few cases we have , like the changes for grades are products of a rotten from the base. That's why I said Aluko will not intentionally pee in the road he must use daily.
I just met Aluko here and recently too and have been following him the few times he cared to join us in our in a njakiri . My feeling is he wants to prove a point to those of us USA bound and to Nigerian a at home that all about life is not always money. Willingness for service and drives to get things done better matter too.
Those finds on Aluko if true, should not amount to same category we shall call looting.
This revelation has brought him back with us on a level I feel more comfortable talking about him.
The policy discusses he initiates sometimes puts him at such a level one would need to bribe a gate man for access to Aluko. That is not good for the majority of common people like me.
This issue, if worth some sweat would be resolved without some pageantry.
It is " big " because it is Mobolaji Aluko , a bait for his foes, real and imagined.

| Ogunyinka: Paying Aluko more money than Nigerian based VC's is unfair.. Am sure it's probably a violation of particular civil service salary code.... Look at it like this, should any Nigerian in the same pay grade make more than any other Nigerian? Keep in mind that Aluko brought very little University Adminstration credentials to the table. He had never served as VC or even Assistant VC of any American University. He was never adminstrator of even a Community College. He's not an expert. Further, these were the sort of issues that Aluko advocated against. He used
to pound his chest and blog against unfairness in governance.. If only Nigerians took note of my petition Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
