Breaking news: Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) declares indefinite strike

By -
The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU on Sunday declared a nationwide strike action to commence the same day – Sunday August 13 2017.
 The Union took the decision to declare the strike after deliberations at its National Executive Council, NEC meeting held at University of Abuja on August 12 2017, ASUU National President,  Comrade Biodun Ogunyemi said.
 Ogunyemi in a document titled, “Strike Bulletin No.1”, the strike action is to be a total, comprehensive and indefinite action whereby no form of academic activities including teaching, attendance of any meeting, conduct and supervision of any examination at any level, supervision of project or thesis at any level should take place at any of the nation’s universities.
In the bulletin signed by Ogunyemi,  ASUU recalled that it had to embark on a six month strike between July and December 2013 and the strike was suspended when government signed an MoU with the union. _“Of all the items contained in the MoU, only the N200b out of a total of N1.3tr of the Public Universities Revitalisation (Needs Assessment) fund was released."
 “The union also embarked on a one week warning strike in November 2016 to press for the implementation of 2013 MoU. However government did not implement the understanding reach between the union and Federal Government base on the intervention by the leadership of Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.
Stating further, “The union has also met with the 2009 Agreement Implementation Monitoring Committee, IMC, and had written several letters press releases and communiqués on the outstanding issues to no avail."
 The National Executive Council, NEC, of ASUU then met at the University of Abuja on August 12 2017 to consider the result of a referendum from all branches in a bid to ascertain ways of convincing government to implement outstanding aspects of the 2009 and the MoU of 2013”.
Ogunyemi listed the outstanding issues with the Federal Government to include: payment of fractions/non-payment of salaries; non-payment of earned academic allowances, non releases of operational license of NUPEMCO; non implementation of the provisions of the 2014 pension reform act with respect to retired professors and their salaries, removal of universities staff schools from funding by government and funds for the revitalisation of public universities.
