Nigeria University lecturers under the aegis of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has issued a 21-day ultimatum to the Federal government over unpaid four months witheld salaries.
The Notice is part of the resolutions reached at the end of the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the union, which was held at the University of Ibadan over the weekend.
A senior member of the Union told aitlive in Abuja that the lecturers agreed to put the Federal government on a 21-day Notice before embarking on an industrial action.
ASUU had in July this year threatened to embark on an indefinite strike over the witheld salaries, the non-implementation of the renegotiated 2009 Agreement among other issues.
Prior to that threat, the Minister of Education, Professor Tahir Mamman, had, on June 26, invited the Union for a meeting to deliberate on the lingering issues affecting the Universities.
However, ASUU members say nothing substantial has since been done to their demands.
