ASUU Summons NEC Meeting Over Half-salary

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is set to summon an emergency meeting of the National Executive Council following the decision of the Federal Government to pay the lecturers half salaries for the month of October 2022.

Though no date has been fixed yet, NAN gathered that the decision to convene a meeting followed the drama which erupted when members of the union received half salaries in their accounts.

A source who spoke to our correspondent in Abuja noted that half salaries were paid, “I was shocked when I received an alert from my bank and I noticed that I got half salary; they didn’t even talk about the backlog of the eight months of the strike.

Speaking with our correspondent in Abuja, ASUU National President, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, confirmed the development.
