“You have suffered enough, and am sure the president is aware of that, and we are looking at legal ways to finalise the salary payment,” he said.

Comrade Usman Barambu, NANS president, in his address asked the federal government to urgently address issues pertaining to their agreement with lecturers to prevent future strikes that will ground academic activities and keep students at home.
