UNIVERSITY OF JOS ASUU REJECTS FG LOAN SCHEME, DEMANDS AGREEMENT IMPLEMENTATION

The University of Jos ASUU chapter has rejected the Federal Government’s new loan scheme for university staff, calling it a “trap” and “poisoned chalice.” Chairman Prof. Jurbe Molwus urged members to avoid the scheme, stressing that lecturers are already burdened with debt. Instead, he called on the government to implement the 2009 renegotiated agreement to improve wages and reduce dependence on loans.

Molwus also highlighted ongoing peaceful protests aimed at pushing the government to address longstanding issues and urged President Tinubu to engage directly with ASUU leadership to prevent further academic disruptions.
