The Federal Government has commenced payment of the seized
salaries of public university lecturers under the aegis of the Academic Staff
Union of Universities.
Comrade Nobert Oyibo Eze, the University of Nigeria, Nsukka
branch Chairman of ASUU confirmed the development on Monday.
“Yes, they have started paying. Even though I’m yet to
receive mine, some of our lecturers have received two months’ payments out of
the outstanding eight months’ withheld salary,” Eze said.
Another lecturer also disclosed that the federal
government started paying on Sunday.
He confirmed that two months’ salaries have been paid to him
out of the eight months owed him.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu Tinubu had in October 2023
approved the release of four of the eight months’ ASUU withheld salaries of the
workers.
Former President Muhammadu Buhari had invoked a ‘No Work, No
Pay policy’ against ASUU for embarking on a strike that lasted eight months in
2022.
