Half salary: ASUU takes fresh stand

In an effort to show their dissatisfaction over half salary payment by the Federal Government, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has reportedly finalised plans for a one day nationwide protest.

A member of the National Executive Council on Sunday said the protest will reportedly involve members boycotting classes for one day.

“We are protesting. Branches will choose their own date.

“The government needs to understand that we are not casual workers,” said the ASUU NEC member.

According to a letter signed by the chairperson of ASUU, University of Lagos (UNILAG) branch, Dr Dele Ashiru, the branch would implement the decision on Tuesday.
