The federal government had withheld the salaries of federal university lecturers following the eight-month ASUU strike in 2022.
The resolution was a sequel to a unanimous adoption of a motion by Paul Nnamchi and co-sponsored by Aminu Jaji , Julius Ihonvbere and Lilian Orogbu at plenary on Thursday.
The lawmaker said that ASUU, a recognised body of academic professionals in Nigeria, was committed to the advancement of education and research within the university. “ Section 17 of the Constitution provides that the state social order is founded on ideals of freedom, equality and justice and in furtherance of the social order, government actions shall be humane.
In his ruling, the Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, mandated Committees on University Education, Finance, Appropriations, Labour and Productivity, and Legislative Compliance to interface with ASUU and the Federal Government.
