The government refused to pay salaries on time, including some lecturers’ salaries due in December 2020.
In his words :
“While ASUU as a union, and her members as individuals in various branches have remained faithful to this agreement by returning to classes and performing their respective duties,
the Federal Government, true to type, has reneged on its part.
Contrary to FGN affirmation of its commitment to pay all withheld salaries of ASUU members who have not enrolled in the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information system (IPPIS),
three months after the suspension of Strike, thousands of ASUU members across various branch are still being owed salaries.”
