The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has called on the Federal Government to meet with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to resolve lingering issues. ASUU has given a 14-day ultimatum to address concerns including:
Concluding the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement renegotiation
Releasing withheld salaries due to the 2022 strike
Funding public university revitalization
Paying outstanding third-party deductions
Implementing University Transparency and Accountability Solution
NANS Senate President, Babatunde Akinteye, notes that a strike at this time is inadvisable. ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, expresses frustration with the government’s delay tactics.
