ASUU News: ASUU has Declared ASUU Strike for all Nigerian universities (See, Numbers of Days ) see details below.
Brand News Day Nigeria reports the ASUU strike update today: Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to embark on a one-month warning strike.
ASUU in after serious deliberations that lingered from Sunday evening into the early hours of Monday, the National Executive Council, NEC, of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has voted to embark on a one-month warning strike to press home its demands from the government.
A source at the meeting held in Lagos told BrandNewsDay in confidence that the strike is to allow the Federal Government to do the needful failure to which the union would go on an indefinite strike.
According to a source, “We just want to give the government a long rope hoping that it would see the need to avoid a total paralysis of academic activities in the nation’s universities. We are parents too and have our children in the system but we cannot watch and allow the total collapse of education in the country.
“Our agitation is in the interest of all and if the system is made better, we will all enjoy it. Prominent personalities in the country have waded into the matter but the government seems recalcitrant. Our National President would explain more when he briefs the press later today,” he said.
The demands of the lecturers’ union have barely changed since the signing of the ASUU/FG 2009 agreement.
These demands include the sustainability of the university autonomy, which the union said the introduction of the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) for the payment of its emoluments violates. The union seeks its replacement with its own University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS).
Other demands include the endorsement of the renegotiated 2009 ASUU-FGN agreement, which it said was concluded in May 2021; the release of the reports of visitation panels to federal universities and distortions in salary payment challenges.
Moving on, on the ASUU Strike News updates, ASUU also demands funding for revitalisation of public universities, earned academic allowance, improved funding of state universities and promotion arrears.
Recall that the union has been agitating for a number of demands including the payment of Earned Academic Allowance, revitalization fund, the replacement of the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System, IPPIS, with the University Transparency and Accountability System UTAS, among others.
