Update on ASUU strike; striking lecturers want four month salary

The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of
University, ASUU, has said that the 4month
old strike would only be called off if the
federal government pays them their four

the strike as well as the full implementation
of the N1.2trillion federal govt proposed
funding for public universities with the
immediate release of N100billion this year.
The remaining N1.1trillion would be spread
for 5 years.
They made this resolution after their Friday
November 23rd National Executive Council
meeting held in Kano state. A meeting
between them and President Jonathan is been
called for by the association before they can
call off the strike.
