FG starts paying ASUU's salaries that were withheld.

Under the auspices of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, the Federal Government has begun to pay professors' salaries that had been withheld. According to Punch, Prof. Gbolahan Bolarin, the chairperson of ASUU at the Federal University of Technology, Minna, verified the development.

Indeed, it is accurate. The money has begun to come in.

Four of the eight months that the ASUU withheld the pay of its employees were released, as approved by President Bola Tinubu Tinubu in October 2023.

When certain university-based unions went on an eight-month strike in 2022, the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari invoked the "No Work, No Pay policy" and withheld the salary.
