Update on ASUU strike; striking lecturers want four month salary

The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of

University, ASUU, has said that the 4month old strike

would only be called off if the federal government

pays them their four month salary arrears since the

inception of the strike as well as the full

implementation of the N1.2trillion federal govt

proposed funding for public universities with the

immediate release of N100billion this year. The

remaining N1.1trillion would be spread for 5 years.

They made this resolution after their Friday

November 23rd National Executive Council meeting

held in Kano state. A meeting between them and

President Jonathan is been called for by the

association before they can call off the strike.
