The Academic Staff Union of Universities ASUU Nasarawa State University Keffi, NSUK Branch has called on the Nasarawa State Government to commence payment of over N600,000,000 Earned Academic Allowance owed lecturers of the institution to avert imminent breakdown of industrial harmony.

Chairman of ASUU of the school Professor Samuel Alu made the call during a peaceful protest in Keffi, Nasarawa State on Wednesday.

The lecturers who came out in large numbers converged on the university’s assembly hall and marched to the main gate displaying placards with comments such as “Save the Ivory Towers from Total Collapse,” “We Say No to Enslavement, Education is a right that Must be protected” and “Revitalization is Key to the Survival of the Nigerian Universities”.

Professor Alu called on the federal and state governments to address their demands including the release of funds for the revitalisation of the public universities, payment of Earned Academic Allowance and indiscriminate proliferation of universities across the country.
