Nigerian Government Proposes 40% Salary Increase to Lecturers Amid ASUU Tensions

The Nigerian government, led by Yayal Ahmad, has offered a 40% salary increase to academic staff union members, as ASUU prepares for negotiations after a failed ultimatum. Dr. Tunji Alausa insists the government has met union demands.

The Nigerian Labour Congress supports ASUU's stance. ASUU threatens a full-scale strike due to unmet demands, including salary reviews and revitalization funds.
