A report on Vanguard revealed that a source said the strike is to allow the Federal Government to do the needful and that the union would go on an indefinite strike if they fail to respond to their demands.

“We just want to give the government a long rope hoping that it would see the need to avoid a total paralysis of academic activities in the nation’s universities. We are parents too and have our children in the system but we cannot watch and allow the total collapse of education in the country.

Our agitation is in the interest of all and if the system is made better, we will all enjoy it. Prominent personalities in the country have waded into the matter but the government seems recalcitrant. Our National President would explain more when he briefs the press later today” he said

The union has been agitating for a number of demands including the payment of Earned Academic Allowance, revitalization fund, the replacement of the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System, IPPIS, with the University Transparency and Accountability System UTAS, among others.

Recalled that /he union had wanted to embark on a two weeks warning strike in December 2021 but for the timely intervention of the Speaker of the house of representatives Femi Gbajabiamila and some members who midiates, now the are baxk after their demands have not been met as promised by tue goverment.
