The Federal Government, on Tuesday, released the June 2025 salaries of lecturers and other tertiary institution-based workers.
Following the release of salaries, branches of the Academic Staff Union of Universities wrote to their members to resume work.
Recall that chapters of the union across certain federal universities had declared a no-pay-no-work policy, following what they described as consistent delay in payment of monthly salaries over five months.
The delay was attributed to the migration of academics from the IPPIS platform to the GIFMIS platform by the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation.
The branch chairperson at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Dr Haruna Angulu noted that the members had resumed following the payment of the June 2025 salaries.
A memo from ASUU, Federal University, Kashere, also told members to resume work following the payment of the initially delayed salaries.
At the University of Jos, a memo from the bursary noted that salaries had been paid, prompting the striking lecturers back to work.
Meanwhile the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, in a statement on Tuesday noted that the current atmosphere of stability across tertiary institutions was the result of sustained dialogue, mutual respect, and genuine commitment by the present administration to address the demands of academic and non-academic staff unions.
