Femi Falana warns FG to stop provoking ASSU Members.

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, yesterday asked the Federal Government to stop provoking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities in a dispute over wages.

Falana, who spoke to newsmen, said the lecturers should be paid their full salaries for months they were on a strike action.

The academics called off their eight-month strike on October 14 after the National Industrial Court ordered the lecturers to resume but in early November, the Federal Government paid half-salaries for the month of October, angering the academics.

However, Falana insisted that the lecturers still have to cover the work missed between February and October.
