UPDATE: FG Begins Disbursement Of ASUU’s Withheld Salaries
The Federal Government has initiated the disbursement of the withheld salaries of academics affiliated with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), as reported by PUNCH Online.
Numerous sources within the academic community in Abuja confirmed this development on Monday.
Prof. Gbolahan Bolarin, the ASUU chairperson at the Federal University of Technology, Minna, affirmed the commencement of salary payments, stating, “Yes, it is true. Payment has started rolling in.”
In October 2023, President Bola Tinubu approved the release of four out of the eight months’ salaries withheld from ASUU workers.
These salaries had been withheld during the tenure of former President Muhammadu Buhari, as a ‘No Work, No Pay policy‘ was enforced against certain university-based unions following an eight-month strike in 2022.
Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, recently disclosed that the government has raised the salaries of university workers by 35%.
Additionally, he mentioned that the universities have been granted autonomy by being removed from the Integrated Payment and Payroll Information System, no longer requiring a waiver for recruitment and filling of vacancies.
Mamman stated that these decisions were reached following informal discussions with the unions at tertiary institutions.
