Ondo varsity lecturers begin strike over unpaid salaries
By Boye Oyeyemi –
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, has declared an indefinite strike action.
In a memo signed by its chairperson, Dr Boluwaji Oshodi, and secretary, Dr Olusegun Taiwo, the union said it reached the decision during its congress.
It stated further that the non-payment of salaries and arrears owed to academic staff necessitated the action.
“By this notice, our members have been directed to withdraw their services from all academic activities in the University until all outstanding salaries and arrears are paid,” the statement read.
Consequently, the industrial action has brought academic activities to a halt at the university.
