The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has alleged that its members’ salaries are being paid by contractors to the Federal Government.

It also faulted the selective payment of salaries to its members with professors in some institutions receiving N80,000, while senior lecturers got N25,000 in June. The President of ASUU, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, in an interview with The PUNCH faulted what he described as “amputated salary” as the lecturers did not know how much they would be paid next.He said, “You are also aware of the Earned Academic Allowance, which we have been owed since 2009.

“We talked about the issue of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System and today, we are very happy as a union that we are right. In June, a number of lecturers in Nigerian universities received different salaries. “Some were paid double salaries; some were alleged to have been paid double salaries when only one month was paid. The government wrote to the universities that they had paid A, B, C and D double salaries. But we found out that only a few of those people were paid double salaries and I can be sure that by this July, my salary will not be paid.
