The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has embarked on an
another indefinite strike following the failure of the federal
government to implement part of the 2009 agreement reached by the two
parties.
The union’s demands include upward review of retirement age for
Professors from 65 to 70, adequate funding to revitalise the university
system, progressive increase of budgetary allocations to education by 26
per cent, transfer of Federal Government property to universities,
setting up of research and development units by companies, payment of
earned allowances and renegotiation of the signed agreement
More to follow.
