ASUU commences indefinite strike

The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Monday declared an indefinite strike over the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPS) and the non-implementation of the 2009 FGN-ASUU agreement.

The union’s National President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, announced the strike at a press briefing in its National Secretariat, Abuja.

ASUU on March 9 declared a two-week warning strike following a resolution taken at its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held at the Enugu State University (ESUT), Enugu.

The union leaders accused the Federal Government of failing to implement the contents of the Memorandum of Action (MoA) signed last year by both sides.
