In a statement issued on Friday, February 4, 2022, the union said despite several meetings it has had with the Federal Government, its demands are yet to be addressed.
ASUU said it has had several meetings with the FG on issues bordering on funding for revitalisation of public universities, earned academic allowances, University Transparency Accountability Solution; promotion arrears, renegotiation of 2009 ASUU-FGN Agreement, and the inconsistencies in Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System Payment.
In a recent statement signed by Dr Lazarus Maigoro, the Chairman of the union, University of Jos branch, ASUU said it is tired of FG’s deceit, adding that the government has been unable to match its words with action.
