The Academic Staff Union Of universities ASUU Denies Alleged Payment Of Salary, Doubts FG’s Sincerity.
The National President of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, in an exclusive chat with Saturday INDEPENDENT, said none of its members has been paid a dime.
I called about ten branches and none has received a payment alert for whatever reason.”
I am not aware of that. We don’t even trust them because they can go to a bank and pay a few people and announce to the public that they have commenced payment.
Asked about the meetings held with the Chief of Staff to the President, Ambassador Ibrahim Gambari, the ASUU President said, “Nothing significant has happened within the last one week apart from the meeting held with the Chief of Staff where it was promised that all issues would be resolved within one week. Nothing has happened and the one-week timeline has expired.
“That is why we don’t trust them when they asked us to call off the strike first. The issues of trust and goodwill are important in negotiations.”
