The Federal Government has commenced payment of the seized salaries of public university lecturers under the aegis of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Gbolahan Bolarin, ASUU chairperson, Federal University of Technology, Minna confirmed the development where he said, “Yes, it is true. Payment has started rolling in.”
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.
