However, If the Federal Government fails to meet ASUU’s demands the strike will not be called off and it will be INDEFINITE.
ASUU Demands 2022
ASUU reasons:
- EARLIER, ASUU embarked on strike action in March 2020, following its disagreement with the Federal Government over the funding of the universities.
- Also, implementation of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS), which according to the Union, negates the autonomy policy for the universities, among other issues.
- The Union called off its 9-month old strike in December 2020 after the Federal Government agreed to some of its conditions.
- These include the deployment of University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) software for payment of its salaries and allowances. However, a year after signing the MoA, ASUU accused the government of failing to fulfill its side of the bargain and threatened to mobilise for another actions immediately.
- The government quickly moved to pay N55bn as part-payment for the Earned Academic Allowance and Revitalisation Fund, but the union was unmoved until the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council and other dignitaries waded in.
- ASUU said the federal government has only addressed 2 out of its 8 demands, including the visitation panel to federal universities and described the release of funds for the Earned Academic Allowance and revitalisation funds as partial.
- Some of the demands of ASUU include the sustainability of the university autonomy, which it said the introduction of IPPIS violates.
- Immediate deployment of UTAS to replace IPPIS; renegotiation of the 2009 ASUU-FGN agreement.
Release of the reports of visitation panels to federal universities and distortions in salary payment challenges. - Others include funding for revitalisation of public universities, earned academic allowance, poor funding of state universities and promotion arrears.
