The National President of the Parent-Teacher Association of Nigeria, Haruna Danjuma, has condemned the payment of half salaries for October 22 to lecturers in public universities by the Federal Government, describing it as tantamount to “pushing them to the wall.”

“ASUU has obeyed the law and order of the court by calling off the strike as directed. Unfortunately, the government has not followed the same law and order. The court told the government to look into the matters raised by ASUU and address them while classes continue. But, they have not done that based on the information at my disposal.

“The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, also promised the union that the presidency would look into their demands. He has not done so.” He added, “The entire parents are urging the FG to pay up the salaries of the entire eight months to our respected lecturers. What exactly are the half salaries for? Is it for the days the lecturers went back to class? What will happen to the remaining seven months and 15 days or so that they were demanding that the right thing be done?

“We are calling on the government to respect law and order as ASUU has done. Our hands are tied and we want the government to explain to us in clear terms why they would pay half salaries for October. This was not the agreement. “ASUU issues are different from other labour issues because of the sensitivity of their role – they are always on the ground. In the end, the lecturers will still teach our children. We beg the Federal Government to stop pushing ASUU to the wall because we cannot afford another strike.”All rights reserved.
