The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has given the Federal Government 14 days to meet its demands or face another round of crippling strikes.
The decision followed the union’s National Executive Council meeting held on Sunday at the University of Abuja.
In a statement signed by its national president, Prof. Chris Piwuna, ASUU accused the government of “neglecting the university system” and consistently ignoring its demands.
“If at the end of the fourteen-day ultimatum the Federal Government fails to address these issues, the Union may have no option but to, first, embark on a two-week warning strike and thereafter, a total and indefinite strike,” the statement read.
Top on ASUU’s list of demands are the renegotiation of the 2009 agreement, revitalisation funds for universities, settlement of outstanding salary arrears, and a sustainable framework for funding tertiary education.
The Federal Government had earlier set up a committee chaired by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Abel Enitan, to look into ASUU’s proposals. But weeks later, nothing concrete has been communicated to the public.
With the ultimatum now in motion, Nigerians may once again be bracing for the familiar shutdown of public universities if the impasse drags on.
