AAUA ASUU begins indefinite strike over unmet agreement
The Academic Staff Union of Universities at Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko has started an indefinite strike due to the non-implementation of the 2025 FGN-ASUU agreement. Prof. Boluwaji Oshodi, the ASUU chairman, announced the decision, stating that previous efforts to resolve the issue with the state government had failed. The union insists that members will not return to work until concrete actions are taken, including payment of salary arrears. The strike follows a recently suspended industrial action over unpaid salaries.
