The Academic Staff Union of Universities has resolved to give the Federal Government a 21-day ultimatum in line with labour law over unmet needs.
The decision to issue the federal government the ultimatum was taken at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held at the University of Ibadan (UI) from Saturday 17th to Sunday 18th, August 2024.
A source told Daily Sun that the crucial NEC meeting also directed ASUU branches to conduct a referendum on whether to embark on a strike or not, a definite strike or a staggered strike.
ASUU’s demands include renegotiation of FG/ASUU 2009 agreement, payment of withheld salaries, use of UTAS for salary payment, promotion arrears, stopping proliferation of universities, revitalisation for public universities, outstanding Earned Academic Allowance, victimization of union leaders and non-payment of salaries to members in some state universities.
The union had earlier stated that the federal government promised to include the demands in the 2023 budget, which was not done.
