The Academic Staff Union of Universities has accused the Federal Government of shortchanging its members in the payment of salaries.
The organisation said none of the universities got 100% payment while government continued to frustrate the payment of four months salaries to its members at the University of Maiduguri and Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike.
ASUU has been on strike following disagreement with government on some irreconcilable differences including the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System. “There is one other dimension I need to underline that there is no university so far that was paid 100%. In all the universities that were paid, those that were not paid will range from 20% to over 70% nd that is giving our members a lot of concern. We believe that if the office of the Accountant-General of the Federation is sincere enough, by now, all those problems should have been sorted out.
