ASUU Strike Paralyses Academic Activities At Eksu

The strike action
embarked upon by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has paralysed academic activities at the Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti.
According to the university’s Asuu chairman, Prof Olufayo Oluodo, while speaking to newsmen in Ado-Ekiti on Wednesday  said the lecturers are protesting the non-payment of their January and February salaries.
Oluodo said the strike action which commenced on Monday was indefinite until the state government pays them their outstanding salaries.
He said members of the union have resolved that they would not return to the classrooms, until their salaries were paid, stressing that lecturers had to stay away from work because the non-payment of their salaries had made life difficult for them.
Oluodo said Asuu members are at home because they can’t be going to work when they are being owed salaries, adding that the union members have no money to run around.
He stressed that their positions have been made known to the university authorities and also written to the state government in the matter.
The Asuu president said the union executives have met with the deputy governor of Ekiti State to resolve the matter and another meeting with the state governor slated on Friday to resolve the strike impasse.
