We Won’t Accept Pleas To Shelve Strike – ASUU
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) members in the Yola zone of Adamawa State have stated that they will not consider any request from Nigerians to postpone a planned strike.
The Yola Zone said Nigerians must condemn the Federal Government for refusal to adhere with the modification of the 2009 agreement during a press conference at the NUJ secretariat in Yola on Friday.
The ASUU Yola Zonal Coordinator, Comrade Reuben Jonathan, made the grievance of the group known.

Reuben said: “Recall that in our previous press conference here in Yola on September 15th, 2021, we briefed you on the Government’s refusal and foot-dragging in implementing the said Agreement. Since then, nothing has been done by the Government to address the issues besides propaganda and blackmail.
”The issues remain: Renegotiation of the 2009 Agreement and all efforts by the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the promise made to address the issue of Renegotiation have not yielded any result so far.
“The refusal of the Government to address the issue of Renegotiation has left us on the same salary for 12 years even as the Government has reviewed the minimum wage twice,”
“Recall that our union has developed a robust and dynamic system known as the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) which is a better alternative to the pro-corruption Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
“UTAS has been subjected to and passed all the integrity tests without any shortcomings, but beneficiaries of corruption-laden IPPIS have continued to ensure that UTAS does not see the light of day, thereby subjecting our members to hardship.”
