Pay lecturers three months withheld salaries, ASUU tells govt

The issue of withheld salaries was always prominent on ASUU’s list, however, the FG in the last week of February 2024 paid ASUU members four months out of the seven and a half salaries.

“Government should pay our withheld salaries, we worked for it. The no work no pay is not applicable. We are being owed three and half months’ salary, the government should pay and we have covered all the work that should be done.”

ASUU had over time lamented the government’s refusal to fulfil the agreements it had with lecturers.

Some of the demands highlighted by ASUU as being unimplemented by the FG were the renegotiation of FGN/ASUU 2009 Agreement, unpaid Arrears of Earned Academic Allowance, revitalisation funds not released, Public Universities and the Treasury Single Account, and proliferation of universities.

Osodeke in an interview with The PUNCH accused the Nigerian government of inflicting hardship on lecturers and students.
