ASUU Hints On Fresh Strike Over Failure Of Government To Pay Staff Salaries

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has blamed the Federal Government, as well as the Accountant General of the Federation, over what it called the victimization of its members.

It said the Federal Government had refused to pay its members salaries despite the 'no victimization clause' of the suspended strike.

According to ASUU, while its members are back to their duty posts to work, the harsh economy being experienced due to unpaid salaries and non-refund of deducted check-off dues will affect productivity. 

The Chairman of ASUU, University of Ibadan, Prof. AYO AKINWOLE, said the Federal Government failed to remit the deductions it made to the account of the union.

The union warned that if pushed to the limit, "withdrawal of work in the nearest future may be inevitable."
