ASUU has vowed to fight on until the withheld eight months salaries of its members during the period of the recently suspended strike are paid to them in full.
The Nigerian government on Wednesday reiterated that the university lecturers would not be paid for work, not done, amid fear of another showdown in the tertiary education sector. SaharaReporters had reported that university lecturers under the umbrella of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on February 14 embarked on strike action to demand that federal government should implement an agreement it signed with ASUU in 2009. The agreement was on how the university education could be founded.
