The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Tuesday, demanded that the Federal Government refund the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) members’ withheld salaries.
The NLC made the demand in a communique signed by NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, and Secretary, Emmanuel Ugboaja, at the National Executive Council meeting, which took place in Birnin-Kebbi, Kebbi State.
After ASUU‘s protracted strike, the federal government implemented the no-work, no-pay policy against the union.
The union, however, noted that the issues in its dispute with the Federal Government were not well addressed.
The FG, at a meeting with pro-chancellors and vice-chancellors of universities, constituted a 14-member committee, to among others, review its decision not to pay the striking lecturers for the period they have been at home and other contending issues.
