ASUU Embarks On 7-Day Warning Strike In University Of Ibadan (UI)

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University
of Ibadan (UI) Chapter, has declared a one-week warning
strike over illegal pension deductions, fractional salary
payments and non-payment of supervision allowance.
The decision was taken on Tuesday at a congress convened
by the union and presided over by its Chairman, Deji Omole.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that members
also complained about excessive deductions in their March
salaries.
The management of the university was also alleged to have
failed to declare the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR)
profile of the university.
According to Mr. Omole, the warning strike is, therefore, to
compel the university administration to address the issues
which ASUU said bordered on the welfare of her members
who are being owed since 2010.
“The congress of ASUU, UNIBADAN, at its meeting of
4th April, 2017, having received permission from the
national body of the union, hereby, declare a one-week
warning strike.
“The warning strike will commence from 12:01 midnight
of Tuesday, 4th April, to 12:00 midnight of Tuesday,
11th April, 2017.
“The congress of the union maintains that the failure of
the university administration to satisfactorily resolve all
the issues, will force the union to proceed on a
comprehensive and total strike,” said Mr. Omole.
The congress, which was well attended, was also
addressed by the national delegates of ASUU, which
included Mahmood Lawan, from Kano; Tony Monye-Emina,
from Benin and Bebe Sese, from Port Harcourt.
NAN recalls that the union had in a congress resolution in
March warned the university management to address its
grievances, bordering on reversal of illicit deductions and
non-payment of promotion arrears.
The three non-academic staff unions of the institution had
also been on strike since March 13, grounding
administrative activities in the institution.
