The Academic Staff Union of Universities has warned that if there are no visible and concrete efforts at addressing pending issues and meeting its expectations, twenty twenty-five will be a year of long-drawn confrontation between the union and the Federal Government.
Describing efforts made by the Federal Government to address its issues last year as window-dressing and cosmetic, ASUU said the government has made no major difference in the university education sector.
The Chairman of ASUU, Ibadan chapter, Professor Ayo Akinwole, who said this in a statement, said the uninterrupted academic calendar in twenty twenty-four was a result of the sacrifice of the union not that the government had addressed its impending issues.
The union criticized the Federal Government over policy summersault in the eighteen years benchmark for admission into tertiary education.
They asked President Bola Tinubu government, instead of embarking on a fresh renegotiation of the agreement, set in motion a process that will lead to the review and signing of the Nimi Briggs-led renegotiated draft agreement.
