The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has concluded its plans to boycott classes and to embark on protests against incomplete salary for October 2022 over the implementation by the Federal Government of a “no-work, no-pay” policy for lecturers in the country.
The protest will be organised at the branch levels of the union across public university campuses nationwide and it will take place as a lecture-free day for all lecturers who are members.
A member of the National Executive Council of the union confirmed this in an interview with our correspondent on Sunday.
