BREAKING: Striking lecturers ‘paid withheld salaries’
President Muhammadu Buhari had in April directed that the striking workers be paid their entitlements. It was, however, not clear why the April salary was not paid to the lecturers.
Some lecturers exchanged the news via an unofficial WhatsApp platform titled; “Akada Development Watch.” The minister also said vice-chancellors had been asked to revalidate the affected lecturers’ bank verification numbers and forward them to the office of the accountant-general of the federation for the payments.“Nobody supplied any BVN. But we don’t know why the April salaries were not paid. Maybe because the President gave the directive in April, and we were only owed February and March salaries then. You know how government officials work,” Mr Adekoya added.
