ASUU THREATENS FRESH STRIKE, GIVES FG TUESDAY ULTIMATUM
The Academic Staff Union of Universities have announced their plans to embark on another round of industrial action due to the Federal Government’s silence over their demands.
The union is giving the government till month end of August to reach out or it will activate the procedure of embarking on strike.
The union’s President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke disclosed that the Federal Government are not picking calls.
Recall that in March 2020, ASUU embarked on a strike following its disagreement with the FG over the funding of the universities and the ineffectiveness and discrepancies around the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System and others.

ASUU, however, developed the University Transparency and Accountability Solution to replace IPPIS and had several meetings with the Ministries of Finance, Education, Labour and Employment, and the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation before it was approved but yet to be implemented.
Likewise, the FG and ASUU signed an agreement aimed at resolving some of the demands of ASUU, a development that led to the suspension of the strike on December 24, 2020.
