Full Academic Activities<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter careful evaluation, we have confirmed the payment of our salary for March 2026, as the majority of our members have received alerts based on reports from various faculties,\u201d Molwus stated.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the development, the union expressed concern over the continued exclusion of the Earned Academic Allowance from the payment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe note with concern that the EAA component has still not been included in the payment of our salary for the month of March 2026,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>The union called on the Federal Government to urgently address the issue, stressing the need to fully implement agreements reached with ASUU.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hereby call on the Federal Government to provide the funds required to finance the complete implementation of the FGN\u2013ASUU 2025 Agreement to guarantee the desired industrial harmony,\u201d Molwus said.<\/p>\n<p>ASUU further directed its members to resume academic activities immediately while negotiations continue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsequently, all members are requested to resume lectures, conduct exams and statutory meetings immediately as we continue to push for the inclusion of EAA in our salaries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The union, however, warned that failure to resolve the lingering issues could lead to another withdrawal of services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe sincerely hope that the Federal Government will take proactive necessary steps to prevent us from withdrawing our services again at the end of April and subsequent months,\u201d Molwus cautioned.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
