The Academic Staff Union of Universities, (ASUU), has described the half-salary payment to its members by the Federal Government as an anomaly that makes the lecturers casual workers.
ASUU, in a statement released today and signed by its President, Professor Emmanuel OSODEKE, following the National Executive Committee meeting it held on Monday in Abuja; noted that it regretted the response of government towards ASUU’s demonstration of trust.
According to the statement, the union said the government’s action was in contravention of all known rules of engagement in any contract of employment for academics the world over and appealed for the understanding of Nigerian students, parents and other genuinely concerned individuals while the Union continues to legally pursue positive resolution to the crisis.
