The Academic Staff Union of Universities, has declared that its members are on the verge of embarking on a total strike over the failure of the federal government to honour agreements reached with the union.
The union also cited as reason for the impending strike, the insistence of some subversive individuals reaping off the government through the Integrated Personnel Payment Information System, IPPIS, to disregard the directive of the Federal Executive Council, FEC, to remove ASUU from the payment platform.
Acknowledging the reconstitution of the Governing Councils of Universities by the Federal Government, the Union frowned at the illegal dissolution of some of the Councils that were yet to complete their tenure saying “the failure to reinstate these councils has added to the list of contentious issues.
