The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has described as illegal the decision of the federal government to deduct from the salaries of members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities for October 2022.
The group therefore called on President Muhammadu Buhari to “direct the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, and the acting Accountant General of the Federation, Sylva Okolieaboh to immediately reverse the deductions.
It also urged the President to “direct Ngige and Okolieaboh to pay the lecturers full salaries for the duration of their strike action.
In the open letter signed by SERAP deputy director, Kolawole Oluwadare, the organisation said Paying half salaries to ASUU members solely for exercising their human rights is patently unlawful and incompatible with the Nigerian Constitution 1999 [as amended] and international standards.
