NANS SW KICKS AGAINST FG PAYMENT OF HALF SALARIES TO LECTURER

The National Association of Nigerian Students, South-West zone, kicking against the reported half salaries being paid to lecturers under the aegis of the Academic Staff Union of Universities by the Federal Government.

NANS, in a statement by its South Westn zone, obtained on Thursday, and signed by its Coordinator, deputy Coordinator and Public Relations Officer; Adegboye Olatunji, Alao John and Awoyinfa Opeoluwa respectively, said the Federal Government had failed to prioritise education under the present administration.

NANS said paying half salaries to lecturers was capable of dampening the morale of lecturers, which in turn, will affect the students.

NANS said ASUU only suspended its eight-month industrial action in obedience to the National Industrial Court and the intervention of some well-meaning individuals.
