“We told them we should negotiate our wage, but they said we are giving you an award of N35,000; we have told them that it is not our own.
“We are still insisting that there has to be negotiated salary,” he said.
He identified the renegotiation of the existing agreement, payment of withheld salaries, earned academic allowance and release of the Needs Assessment Funds as some of the pending issues with the Federal Government.
