The Academic Staff Union of Universities may drag the Federal Government over its members’ eight months’ withheld salaries.
ASUU will resort to the court, it was learnt, once the government goes ahead to pay members of the parallel union, the Congress of Nigerian University Academics.
Counsel for ASUU, Femi Falana, disclosed this in an interview.
The report has it that the FG, through the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, is set to pay the withheld salaries and allowances of lecturers under the aegis of CONUA.
This was contained in a memo addressed to the President, CONUA, Dr Niyi Sunmonu, by the Director, Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System, Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, Charles Wali.
