UNIMAID Graduation Uncertain Amidst FG-ASUU Controversy

Final-year students of the University of Maiduguri may not graduate this year following the decision of the Federal Government not to pay lecturers their eight months’ salaries after the Academic Staff Union of Universities called off its strike.

The UniMaid ASUU branch Chairman, Dr Abubakar Saidu, on Tuesday, said members of the union would not also mark the examination scripts of students.

He said, “They will also not submit the results of both the first and second semesters of the 2020/2021 academic session. There will be no computation of academic status by coordinators of parts 1-4, 5 or 6, as applicable.

“Current final-year students will not be graduated as departmental and faculty boards and the university Senate will never consider the results of the 2020/2021 session. Government said no work no pay; we say no pay no work.”

The ASUU chairman called on the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), to issue directives for the reversal of the ‘unacceptable’ pro-rata payment of salaries of university lecturers and the full payment of the eight months’ withheld salaries.
