As the lawsuit brought by the Federal Government before the National Industrial Court is heard on Monday, members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities—including Senior Advocates of Nigeria and Professors of Law—will defend the union (today).
The Federal Government reportedly brought the union before the NIC for its ongoing strike, which began on February 14, 2022, according to The PUNCH.
The union is calling for, among other things, the release of the university revitalization fund, the release of earned allowances for lecturers, the implementation of the university transparency and accountability system for the payment of lecturers’ salaries and allowances, the release of the white paper report of the university visitation panels, and renegotiation of the ASUU-FGN 2009 agreement.
