    Nasarawa Government Now Responsible For Payment Of State Var

    The government of Nasarawa State has taken charge of the payment of staff salaries at Nasarawa State University, Keffi.

    The development was announced by the state Governor Abdullahi Sule during the briefing of the state executive council in Lafia on Thursday.

    According to the governor, his administration agreed to take over the payment of the state university in a bid to meet a salient demand by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in Nasarawa for the resumption of academic activities. 

    “Thus paving the way for the possible resumption of academic activities in the institution.”

    “Based on the available finances to the state and especially because of the importance attached to education, my administration has agreed to take over the responsibility of paying salaries of staff at the NSUK, beginning from this month.

    “One of the conditions they gave to us, the most important condition, is to ensure that we take over the full payment of salaries of all the staff so that they don’t have to use their IGR.

    “As far as we are concerned, we looked at our finances and we strongly believe that based on the cashflow we have available to us and also because of the importance we attached to education, we should be able to start that from this month.

    “That is what we are looking forward to do. We are also hoping they will complement by the moment we start the payment hopefully by Thursday or Friday.

    “Then we are hoping to see them also returning to their classes,” he explained.
