The Governor of Bayelsa State Seriake Dickson on Monday said his administration has paid two months salaries out of the four months salaries owed the staff of the State owned Niger Delta University (NDU).

According to him, the decision to pay the two-months salary is part of the government’s efforts to ensure that the prolonged strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Niger Delta University (NDU) comes to an end.

He further called on the lecturers to reciprocate by calling-off the strike as soon as possible in order not to jeopardize the educational careers of students of the institution.
