He also questioned the government\u2019s priorities, noting that the union\u2019s members are still owed three and a half months\u2019 salaries. He called on the government to use the money designated for the loans to pay the withheld salaries instead.<\/p>\n<p>ASUU warned that it is prepared to embark on a strike if its demands are not met. The union has planned a nationwide rally on campuses next week as a \u201cfirst shot\u201d to draw attention to its grievances.<\/p>\n<p>While acknowledging a planned meeting with the government on August 28, Piwuna stated that the union\u2019s National Executive Committee would be \u201cdecisive on the outcome of the meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrust has been destroyed by government,\u201d Piwuna said. \u201cIt is, therefore, up to them to regain it to avert any strike.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the government touted the fund as a welfare and empowerment programme, ASUU argued that it offers little value, as its members are already \u201cdeep in debt from such loans.\u201d The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has warned its members against taking a loan from the federal government under the Staff Support Fund scheme.
