The national leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has threatened to embark on fresh strike if the Federal Government fails to address outstanding issues in the Memorandum of Action (MOA) of December 23, 2020.

Comrade Victor Emmanuel Osedeke, the President of the union, made this known on Monday at a press conference in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, at the end of the National Executive Council meeting held at the University of Ilorin.

Osedeke said “ASUU hopes authorities at both the Federal and state government levels would give these matters the urgent attention they deserve to sustain and improve on the current industrial peace on our university campuses,”

“As at now, a number of issues which border on the welfare and working environment of our members hang precariously on the path of smooth working relationship between ASUU and governments (Federal and State) in Nigeria.

“Most topical among these are the outstanding issues in the Memorandum of Action (MOA) of 23rd December,2020 and the issues related to the Draft Renegotiated Agreement of May 2021.”

Comrade Osodeke condemned the plight of state-owned universities saying, “The union is particularly petrified by the declining fortunes and their utter neglect by state governors whose responsibility it is to fund, staff, equip and make the universities nationally and globally competitive.”
