Half pay: ASUU plans protest, declares lecture-free day

The letter which was addressed to “all stakeholders” noted that the special congress/ protest rally against the casualization of intellectualism in Nigeria will hold on “Tuesday, November 15, 2022, at Julius Berger auditorium.”

The national president of ASUU, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke could not be immediately reached for comments as of the time of filing this report. The PUNCH had exclusively reported how the government had paid members of ASUU “half pay” for the month of October 2022. Defending the decision of the government, the minister of labour and employment, Chris Ngige noted that the university lecturers were paid pro-rata.All rights reserved.

I support their actions but protests alone may not yield the desired results, they should rather seek court injunction and if the law permits it, they should sue to be paid interest rates for delayed salaries and gratuities

It's so unfortunate that asuu 8 months strike yields nothing, it has even worsened matter for them By the way, I support the federal government policy on no work, no pay It'll eventually call you guys to order. Striking every year, no pity for the innocent students

Lol

BS! ASUU is dead...

Nigeria youths can't protest against this nonsense but the so called EndSARs!

Buhari don show naa

Awon eleti kunkun alaigbora.!

JoyceOnyemuwa If after seven years of this government such statements is being made, i am not surprised. These guys forget these life after office.

When two elephants fight, the grass will be at the receiving end. I don't think the future of the leaders of tomorrow is being considered. Ego leading some people's brains.

With so much backlog, they are calling for lecture free day! This ASUUNG_official is an undesirable element. You got half pay because you did not work for the whole month. You are responsible for all the atrocities that the university students passed through. 40 yrs of strike

Buharis Government is the best. Imagine if Jonathan was the President

Woooooooooo

Gagaun gagaun!!!
