ASUU threatens strike, says FG reluctant to implement 2019 agreement

The Academic Staff Union of Universities says its members should not be held responsible if there is any disruption in the university system, as the federal government has not shown commitment to carrying out the 2019 memorandum of action.

ASUU national president, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi stated this at a briefing in Abuja to give an update on the ongoing renegotiation with the government and to clear the air over the 25 billion Naira confirmed by the minister of education Adamu Adamu to have been approved for universities.

Ogunyemi said the 25 billion Naira was meant to be part of payment of the earned academic allowances and should have been released between February 15 and 28 2019 as agreed.
