Lecturers Hold Emergency Meeting Over Payment Of Half Salaries For October After 8-month Strike

There is the possibility of another industrial action in Nigerian universities as lecturers under the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), hold an emergency meeting following the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to pay the lecturers half salary for October 2022.

Members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) received alerts for 18 working days in the month of October. ASUU called off its eight months strike on October 14, 2022, and lecturers resumed work by the union on the same day.

When asked how ASUU would react to the development, Osodeke said that their decision would be revealed after their National Executive Council’s meeting. “When we meet, you will know our decision on it,” Mr. Osodoke.
