The Federal Government has reportedly proposed a 40 per cent salary increase for lecturers under the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, according to sources familiar with the development in Abuja.
The offer comes as ASUU leadership prepares to return to the negotiation table with the government’s team, led by Yayale Ahmed.
It was gathered that the union’s decision to resume talks followed a consensus reached at its National Executive Council meeting held in Abuja on Sunday.
Branch leaders who attended the NEC meeting are expected to brief their members nationwide on the new proposal and the next steps in the negotiation process.
