ASUU threatens fresh strike, issues 3 weeks ultimatum to Nigerian Govt

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has therefore given the Federal Government a three-week ultimatum within which it would firmly start an industrial action if its demands are not looked into.

ASUU FUD Branch Chairman in Jigawa State, Comrade Salim Ahmed, stated this during an emergency press briefing held at the FUD, ASUU, Secretariat in Dutse.

In his own words, “The Members of the Expanded Executive Officers of the ASUU Federal University Dutse met today, Wednesday, June 19, 2024, to decide and take a cursory look at the patriotic activities of the union and/or federal and state governments on how to effectively tackle all the issues affecting Nigerian public universities”.

He further said that the present administration had chosen not to recognize the leadership of the Union after it assumed office on May 29, 2023. On the incidents in which the leadership of the Union has employed every possible method to get the government to schedule a meeting and listen to ASUU to deliberate on the contentious issues embodying the ILO principle of collective bargaining, it stated that all have failed.

Ahmed said the renegotiation of the FGN/ASUU 2009 agreement contains all the core issues of ASUU members’ welfare: University Accommodation and Funding for Rehabilitation of University Education in Nigeria, positive efforts such as University Autonomy, Funding for the Re-establishment of Nigerian Universities and The Advancement of the Public Universities.

He stated that the core areas of discussion concerning the state of service comprise all such contentious questions, which are covered in FGN and ASUU MoU 2012/2013, MoA of 2017, proscription of governing councils in the federal and state universities, and release of three and a half (7) months of the outstanding three and a half withheld salaries for work done.

Others are the payment on the unpaid sabbatical, adjunct, etc salaries due to IPPIS inadequacies and inefficiency, the release of third-party deductions by IPPIS, payment of Earned Academic Allowance (EAA) and implementing the report of the visitation panels as well as replacing IPPIS with UTAS.

From all these, the members of our great union in this branch like the other branches think it fit to inform parents and stakeholders in university education that the Federal Government seems not willing to confront the outstanding issues with the union squarely; For this knowledge and by the direction from the national secretariat, we arranged this press briefing.

“It means the general public should know the truth or reality of the situation. ”

Ahmed revealed that, in the next three weeks, the union would coordinate more and develop ways of sensitizing its members on further actions to be taken.
“The union is appealing to all reasoning and reasonable human beings that this ought not to be so and is therefore calling on the Nigerian government to address these outstanding issues and come to terms with our union leadership, to prevent an avoidable industrial action that may further comp ob any frail and weak university system that we have,” Ahmed stated.
