ASUU Laments Non-Payment Of 8 Months’ Salary Arrears, Says Lecturers Have No Transport Fares To Resume Work

This was disclosed by the union president, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke on Sunday, October 16, 2022, while speaking about matters arising from the suspension of the ASUU strike on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.

Recall that on Friday, October 16, 2022, ASUU suspended its eight-month-old strike which had shut down public universities in the country to demand full implementation of agreements it had entered into with the Federal Government a few years ago.

While speaking on what made the union suspend its strike, Osodeke, said the decision was not because issues brought by the lecturers were fully addressed.

“As you have seen from our press release – although they were interventions by the Speaker (Femi Gbajabiamila) and others – the major reason we are resuming is because we are obeying the industrial court’s judgement. The issues have not been fully resolved and no agreements signed.
