There are indications that the resumption of academic activities in the nation’s universities may become truncated once again as the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is set to summon an emergency meeting of its National Executive Council (NEC)
The decision to convene the meeting follows the alleged payment of half salaries to the lecturers for the month of October, 2022, by the Federal Government.
Recall, ASUU recently suspended its eight months industrial action following interventions from the Court of Appeal, which upheld an earlier decision from the National Industrial Court NIC.
No date has been fixed yet, but sources said that the decision to convene a meeting followed the surprise that greeted members of the union when some of them got an alert of half salaries in their accounts for the month of October 2022.
ASUU President, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, confirmed the development while granting an interview.
