The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has declared that it would embark on strike in the next two weeks if agreements with the Federal Government are not met.

The Zonal Coordinator of ASUU, Calabar Zone, Comrade Happiness Uduk, said this while addressing a press conference and protest organized by Calabar Zone of ASUU, at Abia state University, Uturu Main Campus.

She said that various agreements between the union and the Federal government were yet to be honoured, leaving the academic staff and educational sector at large in deplorable condition.

She listed the issues to include no salary increment, salary arrears, poor funding of universities and non-payment of Earned Academic Allowances, among others.

The union rejected the Integrated Personal and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) and the introduction of Treasury Single Account (TSA) in Abia State University, Uturu, and also condemned the victimisation of members of ASUU in Ebonyi State University (EBSU).

It expressed regrets that monthly wages of lecturers have been rubbished by the high cost of living in the country.

ASUU also rejected the Federal Government’s loan package for Nigerian students, warning that it would enslave the students.

“Universities would be shut down for academic activities in the next two weeks. Please take the message to them,” Uduk said.

Also speaking, the Chairman of ASUU in Abia State University, Dr Chidi Mba rejected the Treasury Single Account.

Mba, who said the lecturers are owed between 11 and 14 months salaries, also complained that salaries of some workers were slashed.

The ASUU Chairman called on the Abia State government to increase the funding for the school.

Calabar Zone of ASUU comprises of seven Universities namely University of Calabar, University of Uyo, Alex Ekwueme University, Abia State University, Ebonyi State University and Akwa Ibom State University.

Let the strike begin, please.

What a pity!!

Akara mouth. You are not ASUU

ASUU wanna be the first association to have successfully gone on strike under every single presidential regime since 1999

It's never been blank with them, they've never failed to strike

But you capitalized on their previous strikes to push a narrative of being pro people and progressive minded.

Now, same ASUU is about to embark on the same strike and you ranting shamelessly here?

Nonsense

DevilsEqual:

ASUU will not strike under Tinubu Presidency.

what NLC cannot do ASUU will do.

I'm now convinced that FG and ASUU can never work together as long as they exist.

Strike is now a normal routine in this country, our politicians have stretched the peoples endurance too far.

So upon the outrageous tuition we the guardians/parents are paying they still want to go on strike? This is ridiculous.

It's like ASUU just uses strike as excuse to rest.

Oh, you just now figured that out?

ASUU the only union in Nigeria.
labour na fraudsters
minimum wage don enter water

Tinubu is the worst thing to happen to any country. E go shock u

WhizdomXX:
ASUU will not strike under Tinubu Presidency.

I blame Tinubu for this mess... He shouldn't have paid part of their salary that was withheld by Buhari when they went on strike.

Make una allow me defend my postgraduate thesis abeg... Ino go do d mistake again... My PhD must be in a state sch dat doesn't strike or a private university.....

On a serious note ASUU executives should replace NLC executives dem sabi hold FG for blokos, dis guys were not paid for almost 8 months by ngige and dem no call off strike, they were busy borrowing money up and down
... .. NLC can't even go for a 2 days strike without compromising

Too far

Hmnnnn

It shall never be well with ASUU and all those that support the rogue organization. Let those fools not forget the industrial court order banning any form of protest and for them to dialogue with the government on issues.

ASUU has never thought about the educational system, there always politicize their association.

This shows NLc and TUC will be downing their tools and embarking on strike very soon, cause this is their worthless organ just like them

Na wa oo

Na new thing? abeg make una rest. Who school help self for this country? Every time strike.

The only striker that normally deliver every season without going to relegation 😏

Supported

The devil has been stoned to the extent that he cannot make them strike again.

this guys ain't serious at all
they are just bunch of time wasters.
