The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has issued a fresh 14-day ultimatum to the federal government, asking the government to resolve lingering issues affecting university lecturers.
The fresh ultimatum is coming after the expiration of a 21-day notice earlier issued by the union.
The government and the university lecturers agreed to set up a committee to look at the demands of the union in their last meeting.
But in a statement on Wednesday, ASUU President, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke expressed frustration with the government’s lack of commitment and delay tactics, noting that the actions were fueling a crisis in the public university system.
The statement read: “Given the foregoing, ASUU resolves to give the Nigerian Government another 14 days, in addition to the earlier 21 days, beginning from Monday, September 23, 2024, during which all the lingering issues must have been concretely addressed to the satisfaction of the membership of the union.
