The Academic Staff Union Of Universities (ASUU) has threatened to commence a fresh strike action next week if the federal government fails to fulfil its own part of the agreement reached in December, 2020.

In a tweet on Monday evening, ASUU said: “FG fails to meet our Demand, Fresh Strike may begins next week.”

In another tweet on Tuesday morning, ASUU urged the government to honour the agreement reached on December 23.

Government should honour the agreements because it will be a big surprise to Nigerians that ASUU is back on strike again if government fails to honour our demands the strike will continue!!

The leadership of ASUU said it was awaiting the release of the N40 billion earned allowance the federal government promised the union, 12 days after it called off the nine-month strike.

The government, it said, had also failed to continue payment of the withheld salaries of its members that were not enrolled on the controversial Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) after paying two months in December.

ASUU called off its strike on December 23, 2020, after a new deal with the government team, led by Labour and Employment Minster Chris Ngige, on December 22.

As a sign of good faith, the government paid two months of the six months withheld salaries of ASUU members, since March last year, leaving four months arrears.

The agreement

According to the Memorandum of Action signed between the government and ASUU leadership at the meeting on December 22, the federal government agreed to release N40 billion to ASUU as earned allowance on or before December 31, 2020.

The government, through the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, was also supposed to continue the payment of the withheld salaries of the union members after Ngige got a special waiver from President Muhammadu Buhari to that effect.

But ASUU said, in Abuja, that the government had missed two timelines in the December 22, 2020 MoA with the failure to pay the N40 billion EAA and another tranche of the withheld four months salaries.

wahala

I've said it before let's shut our universities for at least 5 years ASUU members should look for something doing while students should learn a skill or trade.
All this ranting about strike is annoying at least if there's no school there won't be need for strikes.

God help them

What's wrong with Nigerian print . Daily trust publishing this news even though ASUU has denounced that twitter account and when clearly that account is a parody that happens to feed off news from other media reports .

But your news has no source. That twitter handle is as clueless as you are. ASUU maintains no social media presence.

That Twitter account isn't the "official" ASUU account,indeed ASUU has no "official" social media account but that Twitter account does say exactly what ASUU says.

Obviously this government is not serious at all.
I'm sure everyone is tired of stressing their malignant dishonesty and lack of integrity.
Is it that the FG simply can't do without the unnecessary drama and confusion or what?
The easiest and most straight forward of problems that won't cost them anything to solve,they will sit on it till it degenerates into a crisis before they start responding like old locomotive engines.
Perhaps the FG simply doesn't want schools to resume,in furtherance of their selfish covid-19 scheme. And since universities are already well set to kick off academic activities, instead of declaring another shutdown of schools that will definitely be met with strong criticism; the FG has decided to use the option of forcing ASUU into another strike to ground university education once more.
Remember that at the time they agreed to meet ASUU'S demands, the fake second wave hadn't been manufactured.

No amount of evil strike will stop me from finishing my clearance

Na so i de wait ASUU strike,my guy sister go school,do clearance den go camp.i no go even send ASUU

that account lifts news pertaining to ASUU and post them. They have no affiliation to ASUU. Daily trust should know this . That admin of that account just posted this for confusion like he/she has done before .

But your news has no source. That twitter handle is as clueless as you are. ASUU maintains no social media presence.

ASUU is not threatening another strike yet, even though FG is already failing but I think ASUU is still giving them benefit of doubt!
