ASUU

The over six months ASUU strike that has kept the nigerian universities classroom shut might be called off this night by the association leadership.

ASUU had embarked on an indefinite industrial action following its opposition to the government’s move to enforce the use of the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System for salary payment.

The union had instead, insisted on a different payment platform, the University Transparency Account System.

The federal government has earlier agreed to pay 30 billion revitalisation fund but was greeted with dissent by the association over the inability to meet their demands and demanded increment and adoption of proposed UTAS.

The Federal Government has agreed to pay an additional N15 billion as revitalisation fund demanded by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) as part of the commitment to ending strike
