THE Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, on Monday said that there was no justification in the discriminatory payment of the four months withheld salaries approved by President Bola Tinubu for the university workers.
Consequently, the NLC has urged the government to expeditiously pay up the outstandings, advising that the maturity of Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions, NASU, should not be taken for granted.
In solidarity with the protesting unions, the NLC in a statement in Abuja, said the singular act of government had plunged the members into indescribable hardship. “There has been no credible reason or explanation for withholding those salaries in the first place. We recall this singular act plunged the members into indescribable hardship.
