The National Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of Universities has commenced its meeting. The meeting started around 12:40 pm this afternoon.
ASUU had earlier summoned an emergency NEC meeting following the payment of “half salaries” to lecturers by the government.
The union described the October 2022 salaries as “amputated and insensitive.”
Justifying the government’s decision, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, noted that the government paid the lecturers pro-rata.
