Members of the academic staff were seen dressed in red, holding signs with the word ‘solidarity’ and chanting ‘solidarity for more salary’.

The lecturers’ actions raised concern over whether or not classes were being halted.

In an explanation to IRIE FM news, WIGUT President, Dr. Paul Brown said the gathering at the campus’ gates signalled the lecturers’ solidarity with the efforts being made to address issues, including those relating to the compensation review.

Dr. Brown clarified that the gathering happened around 7 AM and did not impact any classes.
