ASUU Set To Embark On Fresh Strike
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has vowed to go on strike again because the Accountant-General of the Federation, Mr Ahmed Idris, has refused to pay the wages and remittance of check-off dues of over 1,000 employees for the past 13 months.
In a press statement made accessible to journalists in Jos, Plateau State’s capital, Dr Lazarus Maigoro, the ASUU chairman at the University of Jos, issued the warning.
Maigoro further accused the AGF of stoking tensions between the Federal Government and the Union.
The statement read in part, “Despite the directive given by Mr president to pay the salaries of all lecturers, the AGF has refused to pay their salaries ranging from four to 13 months respectively.
“Many of our members in the University of Jos and across the country have not been paid salaries from February 2020 to date.
“The AGF has completely violated the terms of the agreement signed between our union and the Federal Government.
Exposed!! Popular Abuja doctor revealed how men can naturally and permanently cure poor erection, quick ejaculation, small and shameful manhood without side effects. Even if you are hypertensive or diabetic . Stop the use of hard drugs for sex!! It kills!
“Ahmed Idris, from all intent and purposes, is bent on withholding the salaries of over one-thousand members of ASUU spread across Nigeria with more than a hundred of such lecturers being members of our Branch in the University of Jos.
“More worrisome is the fact that while Idris is refusing to pay these salaries, his staff in the OAGF are busy calling the affected lecturers and insisting they’ve to register with IPPIS before they are paid; some are even asked to forfeit a part of their salaries in order to be paid. So it’s very clear that this is a deliberate act on the part of the AGF and his staff.”
