…supports national body on 2025 FGN-ASUU agreement implementation impasse
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Lagos Zone, is perturbed that the federal government failed to take into consideration the strength of each university to cover the salary component of recurrent cost in implementing the 2025 agreement.
The union made this known in a statement signed by Adesola Nassir, the zonal coordinator to its affiliate bodies expressing its frustrations over the governments’ disposition to implementing the agreement.
The lecturers appreciated the position of the federal government to encourage university administration to implement the salary aspect of the agreement as a stop-gap pending the signing of the 2026 budget, but expressed concerns that government failed to take into consideration the strength of each university to adequately cover the shortfall in the salary component of recurrent cost.
