AMILOADED MEDIA HUB NEWS UPDATE
The Academic Staff Union Of Universities, ASUU, on Tuesday stormed street to protest over the half-salary paid to them by the Federal Government in October this year.
The union has also declared lecturer free days in its branches across the country in a bid to draw the attention of Nigerians to the move by the Government.
Recall that ASUU had a few weeks ago, raised the alarm that the Federal Government turned the university lecturers to casual workers by paying them a half-salary.
But in its response, the FG noted that they were paid in pro-rata for the number of days the lecturers worked in October, having suspended its prolonged industrial action on October 14.
According to DailyPost report, efforts by some members of the union to embark on another strike, proved abortive on Monday last week, as the National Executive Council of the union ruled out the possibility of another industrial action in cognizance of students who just returned to campuses.
AMILOADED correspondent gathered that the University of Lagos branch, has started the protest in the early hours of today titled, ‘The casualisation of intellectualism in Nigeria’ at the campus today’.
