A systematic dismembering of the manpower structure in Nigerian universities has began in earnest.

The plot engineered by some politically exposed Academics, according to investigations is designed to ease out all senior and junior staff in the universities, for the benefit of the academic staff.

If the plot sails through, the affected staff will then become the financial responsibilities of the Federal Ministry of Education.

Carefully contrived by a number of academic staff presently enjoying political patronage from high ranking political office holders, the plot will ensure that only lecturers are on the payroll of the universities.

Well informed sources, insist that senior and junior staff are to be redeployed to the Federal Ministry of Education, while a few of them would be seconded to the universities.

This according to the sources would pave the way for a special salary scale for the academic staff, while salaries of the others would be determined by the government.

However, educationists warn that such a plot could destabilize the university system, just as they insisted that those behind the plot were only promoting their selfish interests.

They berated the President for engaging the services of professionals, who had already led government astray.
