The Federal Government has commenced the payment of the withheld salaries of academics under the aegis of the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
Multiple sources in the academic sector confirmed the development to newsmen in Abuja on Monday.
The chairperson, ASUU at the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Prof. Gbolahan Bolarin, who confirmed the development on the record, said, Yes, it is true, that Payment has started rolling in.
The salaries were withheld when the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari invoked a ‘No Work, No Pay policy’ against some university-based unions that embarked on a strike that lasted eight months in 2022.
