Reps to intervene in ASUU-FG dispute over withheld salaries

The house of representatives has resolved to intervene in the disagreement between the federal government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities over withheld salaries.

Nigeria’s public universities have seen repeated disruptions in academic calendars over the years, with striking lecturers protesting funding deficits, poor conditions of service, andthat the lecturers would not be paid for the period they were on strike in accordance with the “no work, no pay” order.The resolution, NAN reports, was sequel to a unanimous adoption of a motion by Paul Nnamchi and co-sponsored by Aminu Jaji , Julius Ihonvbere , and Lilian Orogbu during plenary on Thursday.

Nnamchi said strike actions aimed at addressing systemic issues have unintentionally resulted in financial consequences for dedicated lecturers. “Section 17 of the constitution provides that the state social order is founded on ideals of freedom, equality and justice. In furtherance of the social order, government actions shall be humane,” the lawmaker said.“Resolving this issue is crucial for the stability and excellence of universities, the welfare of educators, and the nation’s economy.
