In an exclusive interview with Apples Bite Magazine, the lecturer, whose name has been withheld for security reasons, revealed the devastating impact of the institution’s failure to remit staff taxes to the government, unpaid salaries and lack of funding.
The university Don explained that when he approached government offices to obtain his tax clearance certificate, a crucial document required for various official transactions, he was met with shocking news. “The government said my institution did not remit any tax in my name,” he stated.
When confronted with this revelation, AAUA’s administration offered what the lecturer describes as an inadequate excuse. “My institution, in turn, claimed that the government did not release sufficient funds to cater to salaries, let alone taxes,” he explained, his frustration palpable.
