The Academic Staff Union of the Nigerian Universities(asuu) Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife branch, says it has resolved to embarking on indefinite and comprehensive strike until the payment on the Earned Academic Allowance ( EAA) is carried out by the management of the institution.
Chairman of the branch, Dr Adeola Egbedokun who made this known to newsmen via a statement in Osogbo,on Tuesday, also ordered that the union branch executive should commence the process of obtaining permission from the national secretariat to embark on total, indefinite, and comprehensive strike over the issue.
Egbedokun further hinted that the union noted and reiterated the following:
“That constitution of any committee to be set up by the university administration to “verify the correctness of all claims submitted by members of the academic staff of the university as regards the Earned Academic Allowance”, should be rejected since there was no such instruction in the accompanying documents from the NUC on EAA disbursement.”
“That the ultimatum of Friday, 7th January, 2022 given to the university administration to pay EAA into the accounts of all deserving members of ASUU OAU expired without concrete action (payment of member’s EAA) from university administration.”
“That the actions of the administration and the vice chancellor in particular, with regards to EAA disbursements, have always undermined the struggles of ASUU.”
He, however, maintained that the, union took its decision based on the points listed.
