The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has given the Federal Government a 14-day ultimatum to resolve several lingering issues.
ASUU is seeking the conclusion of the renegotiation of 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement based on the Nimi Biggs Committee’s Draft Agreement of 2021, as well as the release of withheld salaries due for 2022 strike action.
ASUU President, Emmanuel Osodeke in a statement on Wednesday September 25, expresses frustration with the government lack of commitment and delay tactics, stating that these actions are fueling a crisis in the public university system.
The Union is also seeking funding for the revitalization of public universities, partly captured in the 2023 Federal Government Budget, and the payment of Earned Academic Allowances partly captured in the 2023 Federal Government Budget.
