ASUU STRIKE: Premium Newspaper has revealed that Striking Lecturers have Finally received their February and March withheld salaries.
Striking Nigerian lecturers, whose salaries had been withheld by the federal government since February, were on Friday afternoon paid their February and March wages.
President Muhammadu Buhari had in April directed that the striking workers be paid their entitlements. It was, however, not clear why the April salary was not paid to the lecturers.
Confirming the payment to PREMIUM TIMES, the former chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Lagos (UNILAG) chapter, Adelaja Odukoya, said his colleagues across other federal universities have been paid.
“Yes we received the payment this afternoon but that cannot change our resolute stance against our enrollment on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS),” Mr Adekoya said.
Some lecturers exchanged the news via an unofficial WhatsApp platform titled; “Akada Development Watch.”
Here at Allschool, we are really happy to get this news, it means ASUU Indefinite strike might be called off soon.
