The federal government has paid lecturers under the umbrella of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), their full salaries for November.
In October, the lecturers were paid half their salaries for only the days they worked, leading to protests from some universities including the University of Lagos (UNILAG) and the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT).
However, the government has still refused to pay the salaries for the eight months in which the union was on strike.
A senior member of the union at the Bayero University Kano, revealed this in an interview with a correspondent from The Punch, on Wednesday.

“Some of our members have started receiving salaries and I can confirm to you that we received our full salaries for November. However the arrears are still withheld.”
Members of the union are calling for the resignation of the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, over the unpaid arrears.
The National Executive Council of the union is expected to hold a crucial meeting over withheld salaries.
