ASUU Strike - Lecturers Get ‘Half-Month Pay’ As First Salary

The members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) have tackled the federal government for not paying them full salaries.

ASUU had embarked on strike on February 14 to press home the demand for improved funding for universities, review of salaries for lecturers, among other issues.

According to TheCable News; Amid the back-and-forth over the union’s demands, the federal government had threatened not to pay the lecturers for the strike period, but a review of the decision was said to be under consideration.

On October 14, the union suspended its strike and directed members to resume work immediately.

The decision to suspend the strike came days after the court of appeal sitting in Abuja ordered the union to call off its strike.

Members of the union, who spoke with TheCable on Thursday, said despite the suspension of the strike, the government is yet to pay them full salaries.

Moyosore Ajao, University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) ASUU chairman, confirmed the development.

"I’m yet to get mine but some of us who have received theirs got half salaries for October. We don’t know why they have to pay us half salary,” he told TheCable.
