The Congress of University Academics (CONUA) has called on the Federal Government to pay outstanding salaries, promotion arrears, and other benefits owed its members.
The congress made the call in a communiqué read after its Second National Executive Council meeting yesterday in Benin.
The communiqué, read by the President, Dr Niyi Sunmonu, worried over the continued withholding of three and a half months’ salary due to the strike action embarked upon by ASUU.
CONUA, in its resolutions after the NEC meeting, said the union has consistently maintained that it never declared and was not part of the strike action.
CONUA also demanded the release of third-party deductions for March, April, May, and June 2022 salaries, which it said, were withheld due to the strike action.
