Nigerian Universities students would sit at home for another two months as the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU resolved to continue its strike.
ASUU executives after a heated meeting last from Sunday till Monday morning arrived at the decision to roll over the 58-days old sit down action till the government meets its demands.
Some of ASUU’s demands include payment of earned allowances and salaries for lecturers, improved funding and maintenance for tertiary institutions, adoption of the University Transparency and Accountability system (UTAS) for salary payment instead of the government’s Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS), and the renegotiation of the ASUU FG 2009 agreement, among others.
During a meeting earlier this month the lecturers were ready to go back to work, but the Federal government ruled that they would not be paid for the period they went on strike.
