Federal College of Agriculture (FCA), Moorplantation, Ibadan |
After three years of academic
interruption and state of anarchy at the Federal College of Agriculture (FCA),
Moorplantation, Ibadan, peace seems to have been restored back through the
intervention of Elders forum of the Institute for Agricultural Research&
Training (IAR&T) Community and Grassroot Supporters for Right Advocacy and
Credible Leadership.
In the 11 points Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) made available to Food
Farm News, it was stated that “as a result of the intervention of the Elder
forum of I.A.R.&T Community and Grassroots Supporters for Rights Advocacy
and Credible Leadership, in bringing lasting peace to the imbroglio between
workers of FCA and the management, the following are expected to facilitate peace
and smooth running of the college”
1.
No member of the staff should
be victimized based on his or her roles during the last crisis
2.
The MOU signed by the
representative of the FMARD, the provost of FCA and joint action committee
(ASSUP, SSATUHRAI and NASU) on the 10th of November, 2017 should be
fully implemented by all stakeholders.
3.
That all outstanding promotion
and conversion/ re-grading should be immediately done for staffs-who had been
unjustly denied in the past.
4.
Placing members of NASU on
clerical cadre for one year after conversion/ re-grading is no longer
acceptable.
5.
All stakeholders (NASU,
SSATHURAI and ASUP) in the college should be involved in the welfare committee
and othercommittee that are directly relevant to staff.
6.
Provision of conductive offices
for all members of staff.
7.
FCA Ibadan is a
practical-oriented institution and all workers especially the technologist
should be appropriately mobilized to effectively teach practical on the field.
8.
Resuscitating the part-time
programme from the collapse it is experience now.
9.
Appointing and inclusion of
Director of laboratory services in the management team of FCA, Ibadan.
10.
The position of the Deputy
Provost should be filled up as clearly spelt out in the organogram of the
college.
11.
All committees, units and
departments should be assessed and evaluated periodically.
However, a reliable source told
us that peace has since been restored back since the MOU was initiated for
signing and some of the agreements are already been complied with by the
management.
