The Akure Zone of the Academic Staff Union of Universities has called on the Ondo State Government to implement the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU Agreement across all state-owned tertiary institutions.
The union expressed concern over what it described as the state government’s failure to implement the financial components of the agreement, six months after it came into effect.
Speaking with journalists at the University of Medical Sciences, Ondo, on Wednesday, the ASUU Akure Zonal Coordinator, Adeola Egbedokun, said the delay was affecting lecturers’ welfare and the quality of higher education in the state.
Egbedokun said although the state government was aware of the agreement, it had yet to adopt and implement its provisions, resulting in lecturers being denied benefits provided under the pact.
According to him, the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU Agreement, signed on December 23, 2025, was the first comprehensive agreement between the Federal Government and ASUU since the 2009 agreement and took effect on January 1, 2026.
