• Government says implementation underway
Fidelis David in Akure
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Akure Zone, has accused the Ondo State Government of failing to implement the financial provisions of the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU Agreement, warning the continued delay could trigger industrial action across the state’s tertiary institutions.
Speaking on behalf of the zonal leadership during a press conference held on Wednesday at the University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED), Ondo, the Zonal Coordinator, Adeola Egbedokun, said the state government had ignored its obligations under the agreement despite being fully aware of its provisions.
Egbedokun said the government’s inaction had adversely affected the welfare of lecturers and undermined the effective functioning of state-owned universities, stressing the union deemed it necessary to alert stakeholders, including students, parents, civil society organisations and the general public.
