Unijos ASUU orders lecturers to resume lectures

The University of Jos (UniJos) chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended the sit-at-home order earlier issued and directed its members to resume academic activities.

The UniJos ASUU Chairman, Prof. Lazarus Maigoro, made this known via a statement issued on Thursday.

It would be recalled that the union in the university, after its congress on November  4, asked its members to stop lectures over their withheld salaries.

Maigoro, who said the chapter’s decision was subject to the decision of its national body, announced that UniJos ASUU has suspended the earlier directives.

”After receiving briefing at our National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of November  7, our members resolved to vacate the sit or work-from-home decision.

“We also reaffirm our commitment in the ability of our principal officers to handle the matter appropriately.

“This implies that our members are fully back to work on campus,” he stated.
