President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the release of four months of withheld salaries for lecturers.

 

The approval was announced in a statement issued on Friday by Ajuri Ngelale, the president’s spokesperson.

The statement said that the president approved a review of the ‘No Work, No Pay’ stand taken by the government of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

‘This will allow the previously striking members of ASUU to receive four months of salary accruals out of the eight months of salary which was withheld during the eight-month industrial action undertaken by the union,’ the statement said.

The statement also said that an MOU must be signed between the Federal Government and ASUU that this will be the last waiver to be granted to them.
