The President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, revealed in an interview with Channels TV on their Sunday Politics Show that members of the union may find bocoran situs slot gacor hari ini it difficult to get to their respective schools on Monday as they do not have “money for transport”.
He stated that this is because most lecturers live far from the school premises and the Universities do not have the capacity to provide accommodation for them.
.Prof. Osodeke said that because salaries have not been paid for in the last eight months, it would be difficult for them to afford the transport fares to their respective schools to teach students.
“In schools those days, every lecturer lives on campus and you can trek to your office but these days, many lecturers live 20, 30 kilometres to their offices. How will they pay for their transport to work?
“These are the issues we are going to have, that the branches will have to deal with. We expect the government to pay the money [eight months salary arrears] so that these people will go back to work while we are negotiating on other issues.”
While confirming the suspension of the Strike action, he said “…we suspended the strike hoping that the government will do the needful and by tomorrow, if the universities are open, hopefully, the lecturers will go back to work….We are resuming because we are obeying an industrial court judgement because the issues have not been fully resolved, no agreement signed.
“Our lecturers will teach but you can’t expect someone who is owed eight months’ salary, maybe from his bank, he has collected more than N1m as a loan and you have not paid him one kobo and you want him to go to class and teach.
“We are also hoping that with the intervention of the https://rumahjamu.com/ Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, who promised this will be solved within a very short time.
“I pray they go there because of the children and do the best they can do. You don’t expect a hungry man to go there (school) with an open mind.”
