It seems there will be an industrial action from universities lecturers again as the Federal Government only paid lecturers under the aegis of the Academic Staff Union of Universities for 18 working days in the month of October.



Lecturers and senior members of ASUU confirmed that the government only paid half salaries.

It will be recalled that ASUU called off its eight-month-old strike on October 14, 2022. Lecturers were encouraged to resume back to work by the union on that same day.

Speaking on the latest development, a senior member of the National Executive Council, said, “We were only paid for the days after the strike. I received a half salary. Other members are angry right now, they are blaming the NEC for calling off the strike.”
