The Academic Staff Union of Universities on Wednesday indicated that it might resume its suspended strike in February if the Federal Government failed to implement agreements it signed with the lecturers.

The National President of ASUU, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, disclosed this in an interview with The PUNCH in Lagos while shedding more light on the decision of the union to suspend its nine-month strike.

But while ASUU ended its industrial action on Wednesday, non-academic unions in universities threatened to go on strike over N40bn earned allowances government promised to release to all unions.

They described the sharing formula for the money as unfair.

Recall that ASUU had on March 23 begun a nationwide strike over the Federal Government’s insistence that all its employees must register for the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System.

Although government argued that the IPPIS was meant to eliminate fraud, the union stated that it should not be applicable to universities on the grounds that it violated their autonomy.

In the alternative, ASUU developed the University Transparency and Accountability Solution, which it said would meet the peculiarities of universities.

Until Tuesday’s meeting between the two sides, they had disagreed over UTAS, which government said would only be adopted if it tallied with the IPPIS.

Besides its opposition to the IPPIS, other demands of ASUU are setting up of visitation panels for universities, payment of earned academic allowances and revitalisation of infrastructure in the universities.

Ogunyemi, in the interview with The PUNCH on Wednesday evening, said if the government reneged on its promises, members of the union would not hesitate to withdraw their services.

Buhari dey threaten us, ASUU dey threaten us.


To be a Nigerian no dey easy.

Wicked people in authority

My uncle spent roughly 8years to study a law course of 5years back then.....


I spent about 6years to study a 4yr course including strikes and School riots....



I doubt there's anyone that have studied in a public university and completed his course without a strike or hindrance or internal forces or family people palava.



Looking back and reading Camp experience from Essy yesterday... I realised how far I've gone and I can only give thanks to the Almighty God for his blessings and grace upon my life and my family and friends and love ones and every of my naira land paddies....

It’s now clear than I will spend 8yrs to study a 6 yr course.

Well na cos day opportunity to travel out never come

useless ASUU and stupid FG

Why did you choose a 6 year course? You should have chosen a 4 year course, knowing that FG and ASUU will call for a recess.

Hahahaha!
Person no go study Medicine or pharmacy again?

They should not give ASUU a penny more apart from their salaries. Have you noticed that these lecturers don't have any innovative thing to impact the students. Take the computer science departments in schools, none of them have attempted to remodel the curriculum. You see people developing applications, with all the resources with these universities they cannot simply remodel their computer learning and make impact.
