The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has warned of a looming nationwide strike, accusing the Federal Government of reneging on long-standing agreements regarding the revitalisation and proper funding of public universities.
The union’s president, Christopher Piwuna, raised the alarm on Thursday during a press conference at the University of Jos. He said lecturers had endured over two years of broken promises and deliberate delay tactics by the government.
Piwuna listed unresolved issues including the renegotiation of the 2009 ASUU-FGN agreement, outstanding salary arrears, withheld promotions, and the welfare of retired lecturers.
