Withheld Salaries: ASUU Laments Receiving Only 2-month ‘Amputated Salaries’

VOICE AIR MEDIA, VAM News Update

THE Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has lamented payment of their members an amputated two-month salaries by the Federal Government out of the seven and the half-month withheld salaries.

ASUU Abuja zonal coordinator, Comrade Salahu Mohammed Lawal, stated this at a press conference in Abuja on Monday.

“This is far below the expectation of the union and further weakens the morale of our members and the union’s trust in government promises.

“We use this medium to call on all that are involved in this inglorious act to do the needful with regards lecturers’ withheld salaries as there is nothing more to prove,” Lawal said.

“It is obvious that the Nigerian government is known for not fulfilling their promises as Federal and State governments are owing various allowances and arrears all over our campuses.

“The promised payment of arrears of Earned Academic Allowances (EAAs) which as captured in 2023 budget has not been paid. It might interest you to know that promotion arrears are being owed lecturers as far back as 2018 on some campuses. It is high time to pay up what you are owing and stop being a bad debtor,” the ASUU official stated.
