ASUU Begs FG To Save Public Varsities From Total Collapse, Threatens Another Strike

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to sign and implement the renegotiated 2009 ASUU-FGN agreement in line with the collective bargaining principles as enshrined in the International Labour Organization Convention.

The Coordinator of the Lagos zone of the Union, Prof. Adelaja Odukoya, made the appeal on Friday while addressing the press at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Ago Iwoye, Ogun State.

ASUU said that should the President heed to the appeal and act accordingly, it would save the nation’s public universities from imminent collapse.

The Union added that it would also ensure that the lecturers were not forced into another round of avoidable industrial action courtesy of the current conditions of service.

Prof. Odukoya said the Union was seeking an interface with the President on how to resolve all issues plaguing the public universities in Nigeria.

“By not signing and implementing the renegotiated 2009 ASUU-FGN since 2021 after it was concluded and which both Government and ASUU committed massive resources to at the time, the government had tasked the ASUU’s patience beyond bearable limit,” he said.
