Following a series of meetings between ASUU leadership and the federal government, the Labour Minister, Chris Ngige had promised that government would pay all withheld salaries of lecturers.<\/p>\n

The Federal government also pledged to release N75 billion for the revitalisation of universities and the payment of Earned Academic Allowances.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for how long the consultation would take, I cannot say, but it may go beyond this week. Whatever we decide on is going to be in the national interest, the interest of our children, the interest of our members and the good of all.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
