The lawmaker said this on Sunday after President Muhammadu Buhari-led government declared it would not pay members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) salary for the months they didn’t work.
iBrandtv recall that, after ASUU called off the strike on the 14th of October, the government only paid the lecturers for 18 working days in October, depriving them of their salary for the last seven months.

In his reaction via social media, Sani said no public officeholder is been paid based on the days they work; hence the lecturers should be paid their total wages.
“The President is in London and he is paid. No political office holder is paid based on the days he worked. Pay University lecturers their full wages,” Sani’s tweet reads.
