Published

on

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has issued a 21-day ultimatum to the Federal and State Governments to address outstanding issues affecting university development.

The ultimatum was announced by ASUU National President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, at a press conference held on Wednesday.

The union’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, held on August 17-18, condemned the governments’ failure to address issues such as the renegotiation of the 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement, funding and revitalization of public universities, payment of outstanding allowances and salaries, and illegal recruitments and abuse of university laws.

ASUU rejected the slow pace of the Minister of Education’s intervention and the government’s failed promises.

The union declared September 10, 2024, as Victimised Lecturers’ Day to show solidarity with persecuted members.

Additionally, ASUU opposed the diversion of Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) grants to the Students’ Education Loan Scheme.

The press conference was attended by ASUU officials.
