Gombe Varsity ASUU Gets Two Months Withheld Salaries

After the payment of two months withheld salaries of the members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Gombe State University branch, its Congress has resolved to begin the processing of 2021/2022 first semester results, and supervision of projects.

Disclosing this on Tuesday at a media briefing organized at the conference room of the institution, the branch chairperson, Dr Suleiman Jauro, stated that its decision was sequel to a congress held by members of the union on Monday.

The union titled its address, ‘Gombe State Government: Address lingering issues in Gombe State University’.

The management of the GSU had implemented the ‘No work, No pay’ policy which was geared towards forcing members to return to work, failure of which August and September salaries were left hanging. As a result, the branch had resolved not to process examination results.

Jauro, however, said on Tuesday, “The branch wishes to acknowledge the release of the two months withheld salaries in response to which the congress has resolved to resume processing of the first semester 2021/2022 examination results as well as the supervision of all projects. The branch had last year suspended these two activities following the university’s policy of No work, No pay.”
