Half salary: ASUU rejects ‘master-slave treatment’


The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has again criticised the Federal Government over the non-implementation of the union’s demands.

ASUU has been at loggerheads with the government over its decision to pay the union’s members half of their salaries after it ended its eight-month strike.

The government had insisted that the union members would not be paid for the period they were on strike, citing its “no work, no pay” policy.

But members of the union had condemned the move and threatened to adopt a “no pay, no work” policy, if the withheld salaries are not paid.

The union’s national executive council (NEC) held a two-day meeting at the University of Calabar (UNICAL) in Cross River State to review the development and other issues affecting its members.

In a statement yesterday by its President, Dr. Niyi Sunmonu; National Secretary, Dr. Henri Oripeloye; and National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Ernest Nwoke, CONUA said its members expected the Federal Government to release the withheld salaries along with the November salary.

2023: Catholics Berate Lalong Over Attempt To Drag Pope Into Politics

August 11, 2022  Concerned Catholics in Nigeria have called for the suspension of Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong for dragging the name of Pope into local politics that has nothing to do with the Church. According to the group, Lalong should be punished for bringing the name of Pope and the Catholic Church to disrepute while giving his reasons for accepting to serve as Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council. Speaking as a press conference in Abuja addressed by National Convener/President, Dr Ben Amodu, said the concerned Catholics in Nigeria are alarmed that Lalong would elect to throw caution into the wind by dragging the revered Catholic Church into local politics in Nigeria for whatever it is worth. “The reference to the Pope in his statement for accepting to serve as the Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council was made in poor taste and a puerile attempt to drag the Catholic Church into a matter that has no bearing with the
