The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Calabar Zone said it has given an additional 14-day window to the Federal Government to address its concerns about their welfare.
Recall that ASUU, on August 20, 2024, issued a 21-day ultimatum to the FG for the resolution of all the issues in contention since 2009.
The Federal Government, however, never acceded to the demands of the academic union within the given period.
Addressing a press conference in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital, on Monday, the Zonal (Calabar Zone) Coordinator of ASUU, Happiness Uduk, an Associate Professor, explained that nothing meaningful has been done by the FG within the 21-day ultimatum, except for frivolous meetings “in which government agents were more concerned with receiving allowances from taxpayers’ money.
ASUU said that after the expiration of the 14-day window, it would be left with no option but to ask members to proceed to industrial action, urging the public to hold the government accountable if such occurs.
