Shehu Sani Claims A University Was Paid 40k As Salary

Sani disclosed this in a tweet on his official handle.

Recall that the government of Nigeria a few days ago paid members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) half of their salaries for October only.

This may have been the government’s earlier declared ‘no work no pay policy’.

ASUU had on February 14, embarked on strike and suspended it on October 14.

While the strike lasted, the government insisted that lecturers would not be paid for the period of the strike.

Sani in his tweet said the unnamed lecturer reached out to him after his last tweet, to inform him that he was paid 40k as salary.

According to him, no clerk or gardener in the presidential villa or National Assembly is being paid such a paltry sum.

He wrote, “After my last tweet, a University lecturer called me to tell me that he was paid 40k and not “half salary”; No Clerk or Gardener in the Presidential villa or National Assembly is being paid such a paltry sum.”
