Half Pay: UNIJOS ASUU Reverses Sit-at-home Order

Barely one week after ordering its members to sit at home following the payment of half salaries to members by the Federal Government, the University of Jos branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities on Thursday, reversed the sit-at-home decision.


The Chairman of ASUU in the University of Jos, Professor Lazarus Maigoro, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.


The statement read, “You will recall that at our congress meeting of Novemberb4, 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.


“However, after receiving briefing at our National Executive Council meeting on November 7, 2022, our members resolved to vacate the sit-at-home decision while also reaffirming our commitment to the ability of our principal officers to handle the matter appropriately.


“This implies that our members are fully back to work on campus.”
