The Federal Government has been given a 14-day ultimatum by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to settle some outstanding concerns or face further strike action.

Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, the president of ASUU, issued the ultimatum in a statement on Wednesday. He expressed his displeasure with the government’s purported use of delay tactics as a strategy to avoid fulfilling its unfulfilled obligations.

Osodike claimed that the public university system is experiencing a crisis as a result of the government’s treatment of the union’s . Eyes Of Lagos reports,

ASUU is requesting the release of its ’ salaries that have been delayed as a result of the 2022 strike action as well as the conclusion of the revision of the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement based on the Nimi Briggs Committee’s Draft Agreement of 2021.

Along with the implementation of the 2021 agreement, the union also demands the payment of unpaid third-party deductions like check-off dues and cooperative contributions, as well as the release of unpaid salaries for employees on sabbatical, part-time, and adjunct appointments that are impacted by the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).

Additionally, as part of the 2023 Federal Government Budget, the academic union is asking funds for the revitalization of public universities and the payment of Earned Academic Allowances.

Furthermore, ASUU is requesting that the Federal and State governments stop creating more universities, that visitation reports be implemented, that the unlawful dissolution of Governing Councils be reversed, and that the University Transparency and ability Solution be used in place of IPPIS.

“Considering the aforementioned, ASUU decides to grant the Nigerian Government an additional 14 days, on top of the previous 21 days, starting on Monday, September 23, 2024, to ensure that all outstanding issues have been resolved in a way that satisfies the union’s hip,” Oshodeke stated.

The government’s inability to grasp the new chance presented by ASUU to avert the impending catastrophe, he continued, could not be blamed on the union for any industrial discord.

Ok Sango we don hear

The announcement by ASUU of a 14-day strike indicates escalating tensions between the union and the federal government, highlighting ongoing issues such as funding, salaries, and working conditions in Nigeria's higher education sector. This action reflects the frustrations of academic staff over unmet agreements and could significantly disrupt academic calendars, affecting students and the broader educational landscape. It underscores the urgent need for dialogue and resolution to ensure stability in the education system.

Nigerian Education system don dabaru. ASUU should leave fighting for university improvement and focus on staff welfare. even the student don't understand and value what they are fighting for

The Federal Government should take this seriously.

Red October

Noted.

Nothing good seems to be coming from this government. Well, you can’t expect any good from a convicted drug peddler.

ASUU on the other hand should fokof. They don’t have balls nor integrity anymore. One phone call and a few brown envelopes here and there and this won’t be news anymore.

ASUU extends the strike notice by 14 days.

That is the story.

ASUU has not declared a 14days strike. (The headline)

…or face fresh strike action.

That is the story.

ASUU is not currently on strike “further strike action.”

…
“Failed in fulfilling” redundant enough not to talk about adding the unnecessary “unfulfilled obligation.”
