The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Saturday, issued a fresh directive to its members insisting that the strike continues in spite of the Federal Government’s payment of minimum wage arrears.

The union made this known in a circular released by the University of Lagos branch of the union titled, ‘Payment of minimum wage arrears’.

Chairman of ASUU in in the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka, Dele Ashiru, confirmed the latest directive.

Ashiru stressed that the payment of salary arrears is not the core demand of ASUU.

The circular read, “The leadership of our Branch has been inundated with calls concerning the recent payment of the long-overdue arrears of the consequential adjustment of the minimum wage.

“Our members are reminded that this is not one of the core demands upon which the ongoing strike action is premised.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the demands of our Union are the conclusion of the renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement, abrogation of the fraudulent and corrupt IPPIS scheme and the deployment of UTAS, payment of promotion arrears, the proliferation of State Universities and governance issues amongst others.

“United we bargain! Divided we beg! A people united can never be defeated. Solidarity forever”
