Benue State governor Samuel Ortom has directed the Benue State University management to immediately pay the new lecturers employed by the institution who are being owed salaries.
He says the approval given to the BSU management was based on its request to only replace academic staff who had retired.
He stresses that the monthly subvention the university receives from the State Government has not reduced and salaries of the new staff were factored in the allocations, so there is no reason for non-payment of the affected lecturers.
