The Digest:

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has launched a nationwide protest to voice its rejection of the Federal Government's new loan scheme, insisting the government must pay its outstanding debts instead.

Key Points:
  • ASUU members are protesting the government's persistent neglect of their demands.
  • The union has rejected the Tertiary Institution Staff Support Fund loan scheme.
  • ASUU insists the government must pay its outstanding salaries and allowances.
  • Lecturers in Unijos, UNILAG, UniBen, and other institutions took part in the protests.
  • The government still owes three and a half months' salary from the 2020 strike.
  • ASUU warned that another strike is imminent if the issues are not resolved.
  • The union called on President Tinubu to personally intervene as promised.
The widespread protests and blunt rejection of the government's loan scheme show a complete lack of faith in the current administration’s approach.
