The Federal Government has disbursed N50 billion to the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, and other university-based unions.
The move, which fulfils a key promise by President Bola Tinubu to address outstanding earned allowances, was announced by the Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Alausa, in a statement on Wednesday.
According to Alausa, the disbursement underscores President Tinubu’s commitment to revitalizing the education sector and reflects his administration’s broader agenda to transition Nigeria toward a knowledge-driven economy through targeted investments in human capital and academic infrastructure.
