ASUU-AAUA TO BEGIN STRIKE OVER SIX MONTHS UNPAID SALARIES
March 5, 2021
The Academic staff at the Adekunle Ajasin University have resolved to embark on an indefinite strike following alleged non-payment of salaries by the state government.
The decision was reached at the last Congress of the Union. According to the Union, the state government owed them arrears of salaries of five months and sixth month counting and deductions of more than twelve months.
The Union have written the Management of the University and also informed the National leadership of the Union of their intentions to embark on an indefinite industrial action if the government failed to respond to their demands before the end of the first semester examination by end of March 2021. The lecturers agreed to engage their services for the first semester examination under empty stomach which have lingered for long.
In an interactive session with some of the Union members they appealed to well-meaning Nigerians and other stakeholders to prevail on the state government to settle their unpaid salaries.
They also alleged that the political class and other workers in the state receive their salaries regularly but the lecturers were left out.
In another interview with a Professor of the University, he urged the State government to, as a matter urgency pay all arrears of salaries owed its members in the University without delay noting that the National and Zonal offices of ASUU are in solidarity with its members in Akungba branch.
He also faulted the National Universities Commission (NUC) for aiding the Ondo State government by approving state universities that fall short of the required standard for accreditation.
The Don also lamented the dearth of infrastructures and gross under funding of tertiary institutions in the Ondo state.
Efforts were made to reach state government officials to react to the allegations of the lecturers but proved abortive as of the time of filing this report.
