The President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, has said members of the union may find it difficult to resume work on Monday due to lack of transport fare.
Speaking in an interview with Channels Television on Sunday, October 16, he said: “In schools those days, every lecturer lives on campus and you can trek to your office but these days, many lecturers live 20, 30 kilometres to their offices. How will they pay for their transport to work?
These are the issues we are going to have, that the branches will have to deal with. We expect the government to pay the money [eigth months salary arrers] so that these people will go back to work while we are negotiating on other issues.
We suspended the strike hoping that the government will do the needful and by tomorrow, if the universities are open, hopefully, the lecturers will go back to work.
