The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has called on the federal government to pay the arrears of salaries of its members.
The chairman of the union, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi made this call at a news conference in Abuja on Tuesday.
Ogunyemi said five months’ salaries of ASUU members in some universities were still withheld by the Accountant General of the Federation on account of non-registration on IPPIS.
