UNILAG Lecturers, Students Protests Half-Pay

ASUU has condemned the half salary to its members and accused the government of attempting to reduce Nigerian lecturers to casual workers.

Recall that the government of Nigeria a few days ago paid members of 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.

Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily reported that former Kaduna Senator, Shehu Sani recently claimed a lecturer told him he was paid 40k as salary.
