The University of Abuja Zonal Coordinator, Dr Salawu Lawal,
made this known during a briefing at the University of Abuja in Gwagwalada on
Monday.
Lawal said ASUU members are ready to return to their duty
posts as soon as their demands are met by the Federal Government.
The zone comprises the Federal University of Lafia, Federal
University of Technology Minna, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Ibrahim
Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai and the University of Abuja.
He said: “You would recall that the Academic Staff Union of
Universities declared a four week rolling strike at the University of Lagos
National Executive Council meeting held on Feb. 14.
“Owing to the failure of the Federal Government to act
within that period, the national action was rolled over for another eight weeks
following the resolution taken at an emergency NEC meeting at the Festus Iyayi
National Secretariat on March 14.
“The action as you are probably aware is to, among other
things, compel the Federal Government to sign and implement the draft
renegotiated 2009 ASUU-FGN Agreement submitted to it by the Prof. Munzali
Committee in May 2021.
“Deploy for use in the Nigerian university system, was the
home-grown payment and personnel solution called UTAS developed by ASUU as
replacement for the failed IPPIS.
“As usual, the Federal Government has ignored ASUU’s call
for full implementation of that famous agreement and other memoranda signed
with the union.
“No meeting has been held between the two parties since the
commencement of the ongoing strike. The only exception is our union’s
re-submission of UTAS for a retest.
“The summary is that unless and until the renegotiated 2009
agreement is signed and implemented and UTAS deployed, there will be no work in
public universities.”
