Fresh varsity strike looms, FG, ASUU resume fight on payment platforms - Punch Newspapers
Recall that in March 2020, ASUU embarked on a strike following its disagreement with the Federal Government over the funding of the universities and implementation of the IPPIS.
Government agreed to pay outstanding salaries to the university lecturers and resolve all other issues which ASUU raised. In response, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, said the UTAS platform would first be subjected to an integrity test. When contacted on Tuesday, spokesperson for the NITDA, Hadiza Umar, said, “I do not have any update on it at the moment, I will contact the team tomorrow.”
