51 of the 53 branches of Academic Staff Union of University
(ASUU) has agreed to embark on an indefinite strike action following the
Federal Government‘s failure to honour the Academic Earned Allowance (AEA)
which formed a component of the 2009 Agreement government signed with the
union.
ASUU chairman
University of Lagos (UNILAG) chapter, Dr. Karo Ogbinaka, who spoke with reporters
at the end of the union meeting, held at Olabisi Onabanjo University Ago-Iwoye
in Ogun State noted that the action is painful but inevitable.
He lambasted the FG’s dilly dallying in meeting with the
2009 agreement.
Ogbinaka said the highest AEA is not more than N12, 500 per
month and that it includes allowances paid as part of excess work load
responsibility allowance, and allowance for supervision of Post Graduate
Programmes for lecturers, head of department (HoDs), Deans and exam officers
etc,.
The National Executive Committee of the Union met at Olabisi
Onabanjo University Ago-Iwoye in Ogun State on Sunday.
