 ASUU Sues FG Over ‘Discriminatory’ Payment Of Salaries  The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has sued the federal government over “discriminatory, unfair and illegal treatment” of its members. The suit was filed at the national industrial court of Nigeria (NICN), Abuja, by Femi Falana, counsel to ASUU. On Tuesday, the national industrial court upheld the “no work, no pay” rule by the federal government in the suit filed against ASUU.

The union repeatedly disagreed with the move citing that lecturers cannot be treated like casual workers. In his ruling on Tuesda...

OFFICIAL: JAMB Extends Sales Of E-pin, Fixes New Deadline For 2023 Direct Entry Registration

Image
The 2023 Direct Entry e-PIN sales would close on Saturday, 26th May 2023, while registration of those who obtained the e-PIN ends on Tuesday, 30th May 2023. The 2023 DE registration, which commenced in February 2023, was extended for all desiring candidates to register and was, at a point. suspended to facilitate the incorporation of certain safeguards designed to enhance the sanctity of the exercise. The 2023 DE registration is unique among many others as it came with some features meant to enhance the Board’s capacity to permanently address those loopholes hitherto being exploited by some vested interests.

The new regime which has exposed the quantum of cases of falsifications and other infractions in the DE value chain as reported is one of the many gains of the regulated DE registration exercise. One good thing about the exercise is that the Board has been able to...

 Femi Falana, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), has opposed the move by Chris Ngige, minister of labour, to facilitate the payment of withheld salaries of some lecturers at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK).

Members of the union have been at loggerheads with the government since the strike ended over non-payment of their salaries for the period the industrial action lasted.

The matter has remained a subject of intense conversation since then. ‘UNIZIK MEDICAL LECTURERS WOR...
