The Federal government has finally paid the back salaries owed the Academic Staff Union of Universities who were on strike for the better part of 2013.
The members of ASUU are reportedly excited about the large cash windfall as many of them had not received salaries in several months.
Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Ibadan chapter, Dr. Segun Ajiboye said,
“It is encouraging that the salary arrears have been paid to members, and I believe these cut across board.
“Right now, members are ready to go back to work. We however expect government to be sincere in fulfilling other aspects of the MOU,’’ he said.
