Why We Paid Varsity Lecturers Half Salaries – FG by AAA593: 7:01pm On Nov 05, 2022
The Federal Government on Saturday explained why it failed to pay full salaries to lecturers under the aegis of the Academic Staff Union of Universities.

In a statement, by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, the government noted that members of ASUU were paid their October salary pro-rata.

According to the ministry, pro-rata was done because they cannot be paid for work not done.

The statement further clarified that the Honourable Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, never directed the Accountant General of the Federation to pay the university lecturers half salaries.

The statement reads in part, “Following the ruling of the Court of Appeal, which upheld the order of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, asking ASUU to go back to work, the leadership of the union wrote to the Minister, informing him that they have suspended the strike. The Federal Ministry of Education wrote to him in a similar vein and our labour inspectors in various states also confirmed that they have resumed work.

“So, the Minister wrote to the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and Planning, directing that their salaries should be restored. They were paid in pro-rata for the number of days that they worked in October, counting from the day that they suspended their industrial action. Pro-rata was done because you cannot pay them for work not done. Everybody’s hands are tied.”

The ministry equally faulted a statement by the Chairperson of ASUU, Usman Danfodiyo University Sokoto branch, Muhammad N. Al-Mustapha, accusing the Honourable Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, of biased payment of salaries to selected professional members of the union.

Ngige should be sacked, but that would be unjust seeing that even his boss is more incompetent than he is.

Both Ngige and Minister of education should be dropped, but you would be shocked to discover their replacement would be far worse.

This government is the worse in finding square pegs for square holes.

Worse government in hiring and firing.

What kind of country is this?

We have been told how Nigerians are able to bear hardship. One cannot but wonder how Nigerians are able to ensure such misery.

In 7 years of APC leadership, this country has gone from bad to worse and from worse to the worst. What else should Nigerians expect?

How do Nigerians agree to suffer endlessly like this? Foreign exchange has gone absolutely bunkers. No control and no word to explain why it is so. All we hear is the arrest of some Abokis, as if the Abokis on the street are the regulators. In 7 years of APC, rice has gone from 8,000 to almost 50,000, yet some people have sworn in the hearts to continue to believe the lies of APC. All their promises failed and yet some bear the misery with hope for a better tomorrow. Bread is out of the reach of the common man.

How are Nigerians able to live such miserable lives and yet trust their tomorrow in the hands of a select few, who enslave and impoverish them?

The time has come to reclaim the future of the youths and children of this country. Let's do the right thing with our PVCs.

This is what happens when important positions in governments are awarded based on quota and political affiliations.


The situation cannot be helped sir... I think the next president of this country is doomed as well. This government ruined Nigeria into the future.

This half salary ended up creating bad blood & did more harm than good.
What is full salary for a whole FG? Sometimes you need to make sacrifices in the spirit of peace & goodwill.

The Buhari regime places little priority on Education &so they can afford to be playing ping-pong with the future of our youths.

All those shouting No work No pay, ask yourself, has Buhari and his entire cabinet been working in the past 7 years, and if you say yes, pray that everyone you pay service to do work for you to render it like Buhari and his cabinets are rendering to Nigerians and still getting paid.

Buhari and his cabinet are actually owing Nigerians for doing damage - they have no justification to owe the lecturers
