The Situations of things, be it, or call it socio-economic problems have spread its tentacles to various institutions, including members of academics staffs in Tertiary Institutions. The scourge of bad remuneration and welfarism of both academic and non-academics staffs has started taking its tolls on the lives of the academicians. Lack of health insurance, poor remuneration, dearth in basic and affordable health institutions and lack of food security, over years in Nigeria have been fingered as bane of early deaths of staggering numbers of leranered members of the public in Nigeria. This is not only worrisome, but blatantly, not acceptable.
The few health care services which are not affordable to the general public, are for a few in corridors of power and their family members.The middle class, where the bulk of the learnered folks belong are fast depleting due to lack of good remuneration and which is tantamount to Hardships.
When a professor, a high caliber academic personnel, could not take care of his or her health due to lack of founds, then there is a systemic failure across the sections of Governance systems, Largely responsible for the sharing formula of the resources of a nation.
Salaries, Wages, Emoluments or Remuneration have to be reviewed over time, to pave way for fair equitable distribution of wealth in a regularized systems.The people or organizations that are charged with responsibilities of enacting extant laws and its fair regulations are the people scuttling it, creating puzzles and opportunities just to embezzle the public funds to the detriment of the well-being of the masses.
The dire situations of social and economic lives in Nigeria has reached a tipping point, a precipice, and a dangerous zone, where people would have to take their destinies in their hands by turning the table against the failures of the gangs of Retrogressions and renegades, who, over the years are hell bent to destroy the lives and livelihoods of the innocent public.
