ASUU Resumes Strike at UniCross Over Unfulfilled Govt Agreements ‎

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Cross River (UniCross) chapter, has reinstated its industrial action, accusing the government of failing to fulfil agreements reached with the union.

‎‎The chapter chairman, Patrick Ushie, confirmed the development while speaking with journalists in Calabar on Monday.

‎Ushie explained that the decision was taken at a union meeting following the government's failure to implement outstanding commitments made before the suspension of the previous strike on July 21.

‎He said the government had violated agreed deadlines for implementing the resolutions and failed to respond to several notices issued by the union over the unresolved matters.

‎‎According to him, the union had initially suspended the industrial action after a series of engagements with government officials but was compelled to resume it because the agreements were not honoured.

‎‎Ushie maintained that the latest strike would remain in force until the union's demands were met, ruling out another suspension without concrete action from the government.

‎The UniCross ASUU chapter had commenced an indefinite strike on May 19 over staff welfare issues and the alleged failure to implement agreements reached with its national leadership.
