PAYMENT OF AMPUTATED AND CRIPPLED OCTOBER SALARY
It is to say the least insensitive and disheartening that a supposedly democratic government can be so vicious, reckless and inhuman in dealing with the best brains in our society.
Greetings Comrades and Compatriots,
Kindly disregard the information spreading on social media about the voting/decisions of the Congresses of the Academic Staff Union of Universities branches as it is mere speculation.

Comrades, as we reflect on our struggles for a better university system in nigeria, we should kindly remember the families of our departed colleagues and Comrades. Today is dedicated to the memories of the members we lost in the process of our struggles as the Heroes day.
The leadership of our Union is still engaging the Federal Government in resolving a number of the issues that caused the strike.
At the appropriate time, the Union will inform the public of the outcome of these engagements and the status of the ongoing strike action.
