ASUU YET TO RECEIVE 40% SALARY INCREASE DESPITE FG’S CLAIM
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has raised fresh concerns over the Federal Government’s announcement of a 40 percent salary increment for university lecturers.

The union is now demanding transparency on the actual status of the payment and a clear timeline for full implementation across all universities.
Students and stakeholders have expressed concern, noting that unresolved issues between ASUU and the government often lead to disruptions in the academic calendar.
