ASUU to Embark on Protest, Boycott Classes Over Half Pay

The outrage over partial salary paid by the Federal Government has taken a new turn as the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has reportedly finalised plans for a one-day nationwide protest.

The protest which will involve members boycotting classes for one day will be organised at the branch level of the union across public university campuses nationwide.

According to a letter signed by the chairperson of ASUU, University of Lagos (UNILAG), Dr Dele Ashiru, the branch would implement the decision on Tuesday.

This is coming days after information made the rounds of how the FG paid the lecturers partially for October.

Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige defending the move, described it as pro-rata which is payment in proportion to days the lecturers resumed work after the conditional suspension of the eight-month strike.
