The union appealed to President Bola Tinubu to rescind his decision and approve unconditional payment of the withheld salaries.
Last week, Tinubu directed the granting of the waiver with a mandatory requirement that the Federal Ministry of Education and the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment must secure a DoU establishing that this exceptional waiver granted will be the last one to be granted to all other education sector unions.
However, the development did not go down well with the academic technologist union when its national president, Comrade Ibeji Nwokoma in a statement yesterday in Abuja described the DoU condition as draconian and undermines the fundamental human right to freedom of expression and association guaranteed by the 1999 Constitution.
