    Welfare Demands: ASUU rejects Tinubu’s loan offer, Calls it a Greek gift

    Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has described the federal government’s loan proposal for its members as a “Greek gift,” insisting that lecturers are not eager to accept it.

    This position was taken by the University of Lagos (UNILAG) chapter of the union during a special congress held on Tuesday, August 26.

    The union also unanimously resolved to support all measures being considered by its national leadership to press home their demands.

    Addressing members after a solidarity march from the Main Gate through the campus, Branch Chairman Prof. Idowu Kehinde said that if the government honored its obligations to lecturers, there would be no need for loans.

    “The loans are to be guaranteed by our union. This is not necessary. The Governing Council of each university can give loans to our members based on our condition of service.

    If we are paid a living wage and if all our allowances are paid as expected, who would want to go borrowing money? Let them do the needful and we are okay,” he said.
