Half salary: ASUU begins Nationwide protest, declares lecture-free day

VOICE AIR MEDIA

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has concluded plans to begin a one-day nationwide protest rally over the federal government implementation of a “no-work, no-pay” policy for lecturers in the country.

The protest will be organised at the branch levels of the union across public university campuses nationwide and it will take place as a lecture-free day for all lecturers who are members.

A member of the National Executive Council of union told The Punch on Sunday that, “We are protesting. Branches will choose their own dates, the government needs to understand that we are not casual workers.”

Also, a letter signed by the chairperson of ASUU, University of Lagos branch, Dr Dele Ashir, said the branch would protest on Tuesday, November 15, 2022.

The letter which was addressed to “all stakeholders” noted that the special congress/ protest rally against the casualization of intellectualism in Nigeria will hold on “Tuesday, November 15, 2022, at Julius Berger auditorium.”

The federal government had paid universities teachers half salary for October after they suspended their eight-month old strike.
