BREAKING: Tinubu Orders Release Of Lecturers’ Four Months Withheld Salaries

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved a partial waiver of the “No Work, No Pay” order applied to striking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

The strike, which lasted eight months from February 14, 2022, to October 17, 2022, led to the withholding of eight months of salary.

VerseNews reports that a statement signed on Friday by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, revealed that the waiver “will allow for the previously striking members of ASUU to receive four months of salary accruals out of the eight months of salary which was withheld during the eight-month industrial action undertaken by the union.”

The statement is titled ‘President Tinubu approves partial waiver of the no work, no pay order on ASUU members; orders release of four months of withheld salary.’

Four months of salary accruals will be released to ASUU members as a result of this decision.
