President Muhammadu Buhari has set up a committee to look into the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The union has been on strike since February over the revitalisation of public universities, payment of earned academic allowances and the deployment of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) for payment of university lecturers’ salaries, among others.
Amid the strike, the government had invoked the ‘No work, no pay’ policy, insisting that the lecturers would not be paid for the period they stayed away from work.
The lecturers had kicked against this as the strike lingered, Daily Trust reports.
