He said, “The government has started responding. They just started paying the salary/minimum wage arrears, the one they have refused to pay.

Also, Bolarin, said, “Some of my members got alert of their minimum wage arrears; their salaries are still pending.”

Meanwhile, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology’s management has announced that the school would resume academic activities on Thursday, May 26, 2022.
