ASUU STRIKE: FG directs NUC not to pay lecturers BY VICTOR UFOT
The federal government has through the National University commission NUC directed universities to stop the payment of salaries to the striking lecturers. This was confirmed by the lecturers after their meeting in Abuja recently.
Speaking after the meeting, the zonal chairman in Abuja said ‘the federal government has through the National University Commission stopped the payment of our salaries effective September this year and since then our salary we not been paid’.

He however confirmed that ASUU has resorted to other means of helping their members such as distributing food items and soft loans to its members. The move by federal government may not yield dividends as the lecturers are resolute to continue the 100 day of strike.
