Nigeria has started paying University teachers their salaries
The Federal Government of Nigeria has begun to pay the salaries of university teachers under the ASUU as a result of their eight-month strike under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
One of the leaders of the group and a teacher of the Federal Community in Minna, Professor Gbolahan Bolarin, confirmed the incident, saying "it is true, the payment has already started".
In October 2023, the President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, agreed to pay ASUU teachers four months out of the eight months of their salaries that the government withheld due to the strike.
The former government of President Muhammadu Buhari refused to pay teachers' salaries as a result of the eight-month strike by their union in 2022, where the government said that "anyone who does not work, will not pay his salary".
Under the new administration of Tinubu, the Minister of Education Tahir Mamman stated that the government has increased the salaries of university teachers by 35 percent to help them cope with the challenges of life and encourage them to stay in government schools instead of leaving. the country
