The Academic Staff Union Of Universities, ASUU, has warned that the Federal Government should be held responsible for any industrial unrest in Nigeria\u2019s public universities.<\/p>\n

ASUU issued the warning in a statement signed by the union\u2019s Federal University, Dutse, FUD, Chairman, Comrade Dr Salim Ahmad.<\/p>\n

The union noted that over the past four years, Nigeria\u2019s public universities have been in a state of industrial disharmony, leading to two costly and avoidable strike actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities has made several concerted efforts to dialogue with government officials, including the President, with a view to addressing the outstanding issues in the agreement and the various memoranda signed between the Union and the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

\u201d Unfortunately, the Tinubu administration, like the Buhari\u2019s, has been unyielding.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nonchalant attitude of the administration to our legitimate and reasonable demands compelled the National Executive Council (NEC) of ASUU, following wide consultations, to convene a meeting at the University of Ibadan from 17th to 18th August, 2024, where it exhaustively deliberated on the contending issues and resolved to give a 21-day ultimatum to the Federal Government of Nigeria to address them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis ultimatum was duly communicated to the government through the Minister of Education via a letter dated 20th August, 2024,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The statement added that after the expiration of the 21-day ultimatum, the Federal Government has not demonstrated any genuine commitment to address the issues in contention.<\/p>\n

ASUU said failure of the Federal Government to meet the monetary and non-monetary demands of the union is brewing industrial disharmony in Nigeria\u2019s public universities.<\/p>\n
