Breaking: ASUU Set To Call Off Strike As FG Meets Union’s Demands.(See Details)

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) are set to call off their seven month long strike as the Federal Government seems to meet their demands.

At Friday’s meeting with ASUU the Federal Government finally accepted the demand by the union that its members be exempted from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).

The minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, said government had agreed to ASUU’s demand to pay their members salary arrears from February to June using old salary payment platform, GIFIMS.

The government also offered to increase the Earned Allowances of university staff from N30 billion to N35 billion and revitalization fund from N20 billion to N25 billion.
