An indefinite strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), Ondo State, has stalled the institution’s second-semester examinations, which were scheduled to begin on Monday.
The AAUA chapter of ASUU commenced the industrial action on 10 July over the non-payment of lecturers’ May and June salaries by the Ondo State government.
The decision followed a resolution reached at the union’s congress, where members reaffirmed earlier resolutions of 28 April and 18 June to withdraw academic services until all outstanding salaries were paid.
The strike notice was circulated to students through the Students’ Union’s official WhatsApp channel on 10 July, when many students were making final preparations for the examinations.
According to the statement, the union suspended lectures, practical sessions and all other academic activities over the unpaid salaries.
