The Congress of Nigerian University Academics (CONUA) has said it would seek legal redress to compel the Nigerian government to pay its members’ withheld salaries.
The Nigerian government withheld the salaries of all academics for the seven months when CONUA’s counterpart- Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), embarked on strike from February to September.
When ASUU suspended the strike on 14 October, the government paid half the lecturers’ salaries, saying the payment was on a pro-rata basis.
