The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has threatened to resume the 9-months strike,that was previously suspended if the 13 months salaries of over 1,000 of its members across the country are not paid.
This is coming barely 6 months after the lecturers union had suspended its 9-month industrial action due to a dispute with the Federal Government over the implementation of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information (IPPIS), funding of the universities and others.
This disclosure was contained in a statement issued by the Chairman, University of Jos Chapter of ASUU, Dr Lazarus Maigoro, on Saturday, in Jos, saying that the Federal Government had also withheld the check-off dues of the affected members.
Maigoro accused Ahmed Idris, the Accountant General of Federation (AGF), of systematically denying the lecturers their remuneration, even after the government and the union had reached an agreement on non-victimisation of its members following their last strike.
He alleged that the affected members were being threatened to either enrol into the IPPIS platform or have their salaries withheld. CLICK HERE for more details.
