University Of Ibadan Goes On Asuu Strike

Academic activities were paralysed on Wednesday at the University of Ibadan (UI) as the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) commenced its one week warning strike.

The strike forced most students to stay indoors at their halls of residence, as the strike monitoring committee put in place by the union led by the Chairman of the ASUU in the Branch, Dr Deji Omole monitored development.

Omole, who moved round the faculties to monitor compliance, described the strike as successful and urged members to continue to defend their interests.

He said the warning strike was to compel the university administration to address pending welfare matters affecting the members.

He identified some of the issues to include, shortfall and fractional payment of salary of members, illegal pension deductions, non-payment of postgraduate supervision allowance and non-payment of promotion arrears
