The Academic Staff Union of Universities has said it would not end the strike it embarked on until government paid all the salaries of its members it withheld.

The President of ASUU, Prof. BIODUN OGUNYEMI, in an interview with news men, said government should not expect the lecturers to resume without paying the withheld salaries.

Prof. OGUNYEMI explained that the members of ASUU were still consulting and at the same time waiting for the government to fulfill its promise of releasing members’ withheld salaries.

He emphasized that once the timeline expired this week without the salaries being paid, the union would take a final decision.
