The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has insisted on negotiating the salary of its members with the Tinubu-led administration, thereby, rejecting the ₦35,000 wage award.
ASUU National President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, stated this in Ibadan on Thursday at the inauguration of the secretariat of the University of Ibadan (UI) branch of ASUU.
Osodeke stated that the union had agreed that whatever was legally sent to members’ accounts should be spent but not to be taken as the negotiated salary.
“We told them we should negotiate our wage, but they said we are giving you an award of ₦35,000; we have told them that it is not our own.
“We are still insisting that there has to be negotiated salary,” he said.
