The Academy Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Cross River (UniCross) chapter has commenced an indefinite strike over members’ welfare and non-implementation of agreements reached with the national body.
In a statement by its chairman, Patrick Ushie, the union listed 11 items as the reason for the industrial action.
According to the union, the “total and indefinite” strike is due to the failure to implement the new salary structure and other welfare benefits of the academic staff.
Among the demands listed by the union is that non-financial components of the 2025 ASUU-FG renegotiated agreement should be implemented without delay.
It demanded increased government funding of the university and prompt payment of salaries in the institution not later than the third day of each succeeding month.
