FG Addressed Two Of Eight Demands – ASUU Strike Looms

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Thursday came hard on the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, for breaching the agreement it reached with the union nine months after it conditionally suspended its strike in December 2020.

This is just as it said another strike by members of the union is a ticking bomb that can explode at any time given the refusal of the federal government to honour the Memorandum of Action (MoA) signed with it.

Prof. Oyebamiji Oyegoke, while addressing journalists alongside Chairpersons of UI (Prof. Ayo Akinwole), UNILORIN (Prof. Moyosore Ajao), LAUTECH (Dr. Biodun Olaniran) and KWASU (Dr. Shehu Salau), at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, asked Nigerians to hold the president responsible should the educational system at the ivory towers be engulfed in another crisis based on the irresponsibility on the part of the federal government.

He said only the salary shortfall and setting up of visitation panels to federal government-owned universities have been addressed, while renegotiation of conditions of service, injection of revitalisation funds, payment of earned academic allowances, implementation of University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS), proliferation of state universities, release of withheld salaries and non-remittance of check-off dues of unions which were all contained in the December 22, 2020 MoU have not been addressed.
