On Sunday at the University of Calabar, the Academic Staff Union of the University will convene its quarterly National Executive Council meeting.
This was confirmed on Saturday in Abuja by a NEC member.
The fourth quarter’s NEC is currently available. There will be many difficulties, but one that will undoubtedly come up is the subject of withheld and lost income.
It was impossible to reach Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, the union’s National President, for comment right away.
According to reports, after ASUU concluded its strike on October 14, the lecturers received a “mutilated” salary for the month and had the salaries for the next months withheld.
The executive branch of the government has resolutely refused to change its position on enforcing the “No Work, No Pay” policy, despite protests and the intervention of House Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila.
The government’s decision to withhold lecturers’ pay sparked a wave of protests across the nation, with some union chapters demanding for the ouster of Adamu Adamu, the minister of education, and Chris Ngige, the minister of labor and employment.
The union did affirm that for the month of November 2022, members received their full pay.
