Media reports are circulating that the Academic Staff Union of Universities will embark on another strike soon as the Federal Government pays half salary in October.
That claim is FALSE, here are the reasons
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has criticized the federal government over the payment of half of the salaries to lecturers for October.
However, the federal government justified its action, explaining that the lecturers were paid based on the number of days they worked in the stated month.
Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, ASUU president, has responded saying its members are not casual workers and should not be treated as such.
Osodeke described the action of the government as “an aberration” and a contravention of their rules of engagement.
He said at an emergency meeting of the ASUU’s NEC which was held on Monday, the union deliberated on developments since the suspension of the strike.
Conclusion
Since no specifics were given on the next line of action, thereby claiming that another strike is on the way is FALSE as ASUU leadership has not announced so.
