FG begins payment of ASUU’s withheld salaries

Feb 19, 2024

The Federal Government has commenced the payment of the withheld salaries of academics under the aegis of the Academic Staff Union of Universities. Punch reports that the chairperson of ASUU at the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Prof. Gbolahan Bolarin, confirmed the development.

“Yes, it is true. Payment has started rolling in.”

President Bola Tinubu Tinubu had in October 2023 approved the release of four of the eight months’ ASUU withheld workers’ salaries.

The salaries were withheld when the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari invoked a ‘No Work, No Pay policy’ against some university-based unions that embarked on a strike that lasted eight months in 2022.
