SSANU asks FG to pay withheld four months’ salaries
The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has appealed to the federal government to pay four months’ withheld salaries of its members urgently.
Adedeji Suarau, SSANU chairman at the Federal University Lokoja, said on Thursday in Lokoja that the government had yet to pay the salaries of its members in May, June, July, and August 2022.
Mr Suarau noted that the government recently paid university lecturers’ withheld salaries.
He said it would be just for the government also to pay SSANU members.
The government withheld four months’ salaries of SSANU members for engaging in a strike in 2022.
All efforts to get paid failed during the administration of then-President Muhammadu Buhari.
“We were hopeful when President Tinubu pleaded with governors to ensure that all arrears of salaries would be paid to cushion the effects of economic hardship during his last meeting with them,” he said.
