Abuja — The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities has given the Federal and state governments two weeks to respond to its grievances over welfare and funding of universities or face a decisive action.
In addition, the National Executive Council of ASUU rejected all the alleged ongoing illegalities and fragrant violations of university autonomy as a result of non-reinstatement/reconstitution of governing councils. He said that Nigerians should hold the Federal and state governments responsible should the issue of non-appointment of university councils snow-balls into a major industrial action.
Among the grievances listed by ASUU are: the non-constitution of university councils since one year, review of the 2009 FG-ASUU agreement, payment of revitalization fund for public universities, earned academic allowances, withheld salaries, promotion arrears, and third party deductions of members.
