Unizik may use sledge hammer for insubordination staff as Registrar warns defaulting staff

www.odogwublog.com reports that the University Management of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka has received with dismay a lot of complaints of insubordination by some staff and has warned the defaulting staff to desist from such act.
According to a letter signed by the Registrar Barr. C. C. Okeke, he noted that the insubordination is noticed especially among those on the Clerical and Executive Officer Cadre.

According to him, some of such staff refuse to perform duties assigned to them on the grounds that such duties are degrading for their ranks. They would rather sit and watch the air or television and chat away precious time instead of doing the needful to earn their salaries.

Speaking on the Federal Government reform of its work force in 2006, the position of Office Attendant/Cleaners was phased out of all Federal Government Establishments, including Universities. Out of magnanimity of the University Management, all Office Attendants and like staff who had additional qualifications were converted to Clerical and Executive Officer Cadres in order for them not to lose their jobs.
Such staff and their equivalents were to dualize as Office Attendants. The days of Cleaners and Office Attendants as career cadres in the University System have, therefore, gone.

Henceforth, he said that any further complaints against any staff will attract severe disciplinary action.
