BREAKING: Nigerian Government Moves To Pay Withheld Salaries Of Lecturers Under Factional University Academic Union, CONUAThe Nigerian Government has directed university lecturers under the Congress of University to submit their details to the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation for the payment of their withheld salaries.
In November 2022, CONUA wrote to the Nigerian government to demand the payment of its members’ withheld salaries as the government withheld the salaries of university lecturers following the eight months strike embarked upon by the members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities . Following the government’s insistence on implementing the “No work, no pay” policy against the lecturers after the strike, CONUA which was inaugurated amid the strike that lasted for eight months, claimed that its members did not participate in the industrial action.
The letter seen by SaharaReporters on Sunday read, “I am directed to acknowledge receipt of your letter on the above subject matter dated 2nd November 2022 in respect of payment of your withheld backlog of salaries and to request you to provide softcopy of membership of CONUA across universities to enable payment as requested.
