FG Starts Payment of Renegotiated Salaries, Allowances to University Lecturers

 

The Federal Government (FG) has commenced the payment of renegotiated salaries and allowances to university lecturers across the country, signaling a major step toward addressing long-standing concerns in the nation’s tertiary education sector.

The development follows negotiations between the government and academic unions over improved welfare packages and outstanding entitlements. The payment is expected to cover revised salary structures and certain allowances agreed upon during the renegotiation process.

Education stakeholders have welcomed the move, describing it as a positive signal of commitment to strengthening the university system and improving lecturers’ morale.

The issue of salary review and welfare improvements has been a key demand of university lecturers in recent years, often leading to industrial actions that disrupted academic activities.

With payments now underway, many are hopeful that the development will promote stability in public universities and foster a more conducive learning environment for students nationwide.
