The Federal Government through the minister of labour Chris Ngige has said it would pay universities N23.5bn, polytechnics N6bn and the Colleges of Education N4bn, totalling about N34bn minimum wage consequential adjustments to education sector workers with effect from 2019.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, disclosed this on Tuesday while responding to questions from labour correspondents in Abuja on the prolonged ASUU strike.
The minister however begged the union to call off their strike but the union leadership had said it would not call off the industrial action until its demands were met.
