The University of Ibadan on Wednesday has stop academic activities as they embark on a week warning strike.
The strike forced most
students to stay indoors at their halls of residence, as the strike monitoring
committee put in place by the union led by the Chairman of the ASUU in the
Branch, Dr Deji Omole monitored development.
Omole, who moved round
the faculties to monitor compliance, described the strike as successful and
urged members to continue to defend their interests.
“The congress of ASUU,
UI branch, at its meeting of April 4, received permission from the national
body of the union, declaring one week warning strike beginning from Wednesday,
April 5 to Tuesday, April 11,” he said.
He said the warning
strike was to compel the university administration to address pending welfare
matters affecting the members.
He identified some of
the issues to include, shortfall and fractional payment of salary of members,
illegal pension deductions, non-payment of postgraduate supervision allowance
and non-payment of promotion arrears.
“During the strike
period our members are not to be involved in teaching, supervision, or attend
to statutory and ad hoc meetings,” Omole said.
He advised members to
remain resolute and await further directives from the leadership of the union
at the branch level.
