DAILY REPORT NIGERIA recalls that members of ASUU announced plans to embark on a one day protest for being paid half salaries for October.

Addressing State House correspondences after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja,
Adamu said the position of the government remains that the lecturers “would not be paid for work not done.”
