Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello is
appealing to members of the state university Academic Staff Union to call off
their strike and resume work.
Governor Bello, who visited the university
at Ayagba, pledged to pay all the salary
arrears of lecturers and non academic staff of the institution this month,
said that the payment would cover those on contract and study leave, as well as
those employed in 2015.
The governor, however, said those
who took the government to court would not benefit from the payment and said that issues of education should not be politicized
or reduced to mediocrity and sentiments.
Earlier, the Vice Chancellor, Prof.
Mohammed Abdulkadir, in his welcome address, appealed to the governor to
provide adequate accommodation, electricity, transportation, water and health
facilities for the staff and students.
