ASUU has called on President Tinubu to engage directly with the union to resolve these issues, saying the current approach risks plunging the university system into further crises.

ASUU described as disturbing the failure of the government at both federal and state levels to adequately fund existing universities due to inadequate subventions, non-release of monthly subventions, irregular-payment of staff salaries, decayed and dilapidated infrastructures, non-payment/release of check-off and other third party deductions, among others.

According to the union, “the December 2020 MoA between the federal government and ASUU reaffirmed our understanding on mainstreaming of EAA into lecturers’ salaries while the next tranche of the allowances was to be paid in 2021.” However, months after the declaration, ASUU said the government has yet to implement it as its members are still being paid through what they described as “new IPPIS”.
