Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Lecturers Withdraw Services Over Delayed Salaries

Lecturers at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) in Bauchi have withdrawn their services indefinitely due to the Federal Government's failure to pay their June salaries on time.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at ATBU announced the commencement of "Active Non-Compliance" (ANC), a directive from its National Executive Council aimed at pressing the Federal Government to fulfill its salary obligations.

The union is demanding prompt payment of salaries, which have been delayed allegedly due to the lecturers' withdrawal from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).

ASUU ATBU is seeking equal treatment for university lecturers, who are currently being left out while other government organizations are paid promptly .
