Recall that the UNIJOS branch of ASUU had ordered its members to stay at home because of the payment of half salaries by the federal government.
However, in a recent development, academic activities have resumed fully at the institution after about a week of protest.
The ASUU Chairman of the university, Professor Lazarus Maigoro, in a statement, said the resolution to go back to lecture rooms was based on the outcome of the meeting by its national body.
According to him, after being briefed on the outcome of the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting that was held on November 7, 2022, its members resolved to vacate the sit-at-home decision.
The statements read, “You will recall that at our congress meeting of November 4, 2022, members resolved to sit or work from home in view of the half salary paid to our members for the month of October, which cannot take them to their places of work, having stayed for more than eight months without salary in as much as they really want to work.
“Our branch resolution, of course, was subject to the final decision of our national body.
