 The academic staff union of universities has threatened to resume the industrial action it suspended since December 2020, over the federal government's alleged failure to honor many of the agreements signed with the union. The chairperson, Asu Abubaka Tafaba-Lewa University-Bouchi, Dr. Ibrahim Inua, said that these, while speaking with select journalists, are the union's secretariat. He said the protracted strike, which was to press home their demands for the continuous survival of the public university system in Nigeria, was suspended in December after the two parties signed a memorandum of understanding on the various issues, providing timelines for the implementation of each of the eight items. Inua, who said that over seven months after the MOU was signed, only two out of the eight issues have been addressed, listed some of the issues to include earned academic allowance, funding for revitalization of public universities, salary shortfall, proliferation of state universities, and visitation panel.
