Abubakar tafawa balewa university lecturers joining asuu strike
A very timely and relevant topic!
Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) lecturers have indeed joined the ongoing strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). The strike, which began on February 14, 2022, is in protest of various issues affecting the university system in Nigeria, including:
- Poor funding: ASUU is demanding increased funding for universities to enable them to provide quality education and infrastructure.
- Non-payment of salaries: Many university lecturers have not received their salaries for several months, leading to financial hardship.
- Non-implementation of agreements: The union is protesting the non-implementation of agreements reached between ASUU and the federal government, including the 2009 FGN-ASUU agreement.
- Poor working conditions: Lecturers are demanding better working conditions, including improved infrastructure, adequate equipment, and a conducive learning environment.
The strike has been ongoing for several weeks, and many universities, including ATBU, have been affected. The strike has led to the closure of universities, disrupting academic activities and causing inconvenience to students.
The ASUU strike has received widespread support from students, parents, and other stakeholders, who are calling on the federal government to address the issues and resolve the strike.
It's worth noting that the strike has also led to a significant impact on the economy, as many students are unable to attend classes, and parents are facing financial burdens due to the disruption of academic activities.
