ASUU strike: Be patient over half salaries – Gbajabiamila urges lecturers
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has told lecturers that things are being done to resolve the issue of payment of salaries.
Gbajabiamila made this known in a statement on Monday.
Last week, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) tackled the federal government for not paying full salaries.
ASUU embarked on strike to demand improved funding for universities and review of salaries.
Amid this, the federal government threatened not to pay lecturers for the strike period. But a review of the decision was said to be under consideration.
On October 14, the union suspended its strike and directed members to resume work immediately.
However, the federal government had recently paid the lecturers “half” of one month pay.
