When domesticated, Grade Level 12 in the Public Service is equivalent to CONUNASS 11 in the University. However, in line with the Governor’s directive, only Members of Management, Deans, Directors and other members of staff identified by the Registrar are permitted to resume on Monday, 4th May, 2020. This is to adhere strictly to the Governor’s directive.
Members of staff on essential services (Works and Services, Health Centre and Security Unit) are not affected by the directive and are therefore required to be at their duty posts.
The Management however warned that the directive to work from home and does not translate to holiday thus any member of staff can be recalled for exigency of duty. Also, during this period, no visitors would be allowed into the University premises. Permission must be sought and granted from the University Authority should there be any urgent/serious need for any visitor to come in to the University.
The statement reads in part: “The categories of staff members listed above that are permitted to enter the University environment, are hereby informed that wearing of ID cards and face mask is compulsory. Disregard for this directive will not be tolerated. The security operatives at the gate and other entry points to different offices are hereby directed to ensure compliance of same.
“Each member of staff is encouraged to exercise due diligence in ensuring that their health and those of their colleagues are not put at risk and exposed to the COVID-19 infection.
