The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has threatened to embark on a nationwide strike, accusing the Federal Government of failing to honour long-standing commitments on the revitalisation and adequate funding of public universities.
ASUU President, Christopher Piwuna, issued the warning on Thursday during a press conference at the University of Jos, where he lamented that lecturers have endured more than two years of broken promises and what he described as deliberate delay tactics by the government.
He highlighted unresolved issues such as the renegotiation of the 2009 ASUU-FGN agreement, unpaid salary arrears, withheld promotions, and the welfare of retired lecturers.
