The Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU) has said it would commence a nationwide warning strike on Wednesday.
In a statement by ASUU President, Biodun
Ogunyemi, the union asked the Federal Government to honour the agreement it
made with teachers in 2013.
“The NEC of our union at its meeting of
12th November 2016, declared a one-week warning strike beginning from 12.01 of
Wednesday November 16, 2016 to 12noon of Tuesday 22 November 2016,” it said.
It reads further, “For the avoidance of
doubt, the one week warning strike is to compel the government to do the
following:
“Funding for the revitalisation of public
universities based on the ASUU-FG MoU of November 2013.
“Payment of Earned Academic allowances.
“Non-release of subvention to state
Universities by their visitors.
“Shortfall in salaries leading to payment
of fractions of staff salaries.
“Exemption of Universities from Treasury
Single Account policy.
“The strike is to hold comprehensively, no
teaching, no examination and no attendance statutory meeting of any kind.”
