The Academic Staff Union of Universities, (ASUU), has shifted attention to the incoming administration of Bola Tinubu, appealing that its demands have not been met.
All public universities were shut down in 2022 for a period of eight months over the failure of the Federal Government to meet its demands.
The federal government, after several failed attempts to resolve the issues and return the lecturers to class in 2022, dragged ASUU to the National Industrial Court, following a breakdown of negotiations.
Consequently, the Court granted the government’s plea for an injunction for ASUU members to resume work pending the resolution of the case.
The order of the court for ASUU to resume work was also upheld by the appeal court after the union approached it.
The appeal court gave ASUU up till October 14 to obey its order or be charged with contempt. That led to the suspension of the prolonged industrial action on October 14.
ASUU will hold a fresh meeting with the incoming administration to chart a way forward and inorder to prevent incessant down tooling by public university lecturers.
