ASUU TO EMBARK ON PROTEST OVER HALF SALARY
BY DAMILOLA LAWRENCE
The partial salary paid by the Federal Government has taken a new turn as the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has declared plans for a one-day nationwide protest.
NAPTAN National President, Alhaji Haruna Danjuma, in a statement, said: “The government should do the right thing. They should pay the lecturers. We all know that some time has been wasted, but since there is an effort to bridge the gap one way or the other, nothing should be done to shorten the process again.
“Lecturers and students would only need to forfeit some holidays and as parents, we don’t want anything to rock the boat again. Parents are looking forward to their children finishing their studies and for them to reap the fruits of their labour. The issue of a personality clash or ego should not be allowed to push education into o another crisis situation, “he said
“The government needs to understand that we are not casual workers,” said the ASUU NEC member.
