The National Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU-NEC) has said that it will meet on Monday, November 7, to debate whether or not to resume its eight-month strike.
ASUU had temporarily suspended its strike on October 14 after extensive discussions with federal government representatives led by Femi Gbajabiamila, Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The move to consider resuming the strike came after the federal government paid lecturers half salaries for the month of October.
However, in a press statement issued on Saturday, the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment said that “members of ASUU were paid pro-rata, not half pay as widely reported in the media”.
