Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) members at the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) on Tuesday staged a protest over what they described as the “shameful” N150,000 retirement benefit being paid to professors and other academic staff under the current contributory pension scheme.
The protest, which lasted for about an hour on the institution’s campus, drew scores of lecturers who decried the government’s treatment of intellectuals despite their decades of service to the country.
