ASUU Unleashes Fury: Calls for Action on University Councils

ASUU - Nigerian Education Sector - University Governance

ASUU is on the brink of a nationwide strike over critical issues! Find out what's brewing within the Academic Staff Union of Universities.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is making waves with its recent decisions regarding the reconstitution of governing councils in public universities. During the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife, ASUU rejected the non-reinstatement of these councils, signaling a potential escalation in the ongoing struggle. The union has called on both Federal and State Governments to address the outstanding issues, emphasizing the need for immediate action to prevent further disruptions in the education sector.

In a bold move, ASUU has threatened a nationwide strike over salary discrepancies and the delay in reconstituting governing councils. Varsity dons receiving as low as N5,000 in April salaries have added fuel to the fire, pushing the union to issue a two-week ultimatum to the Federal Government for action. The union's stance reflects the growing frustration among academic staff members and the urgency for resolutions to be implemented promptly.

The absence of governing councils in universities for an extended period has raised concerns about governance and decision-making processes within the institutions. ASUU's demand for the immediate reinstatement of these councils underscores the importance of effective leadership structures in maintaining the quality and integrity of higher education in Nigeria. The countdown is on as ASUU intensifies pressure on the government to meet its demands, setting the stage for potential disruptions in the academic calendar if swift actions are not taken.
