The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at the University of Medical Sciences, Ondo (UNIMED) has announced a total and indefinite strike, citing the failure of the Ondo State Government and university administration to adhere to the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU agreement and settle overdue arrears since January 1, 2026. This decision came after the union's emergency congress on August 27, following a 14-day ultimatum that expired without any progress.
ASUU Chairperson Comrade Abraham Oladebeye and Secretary Comrade Adeniran O. Akinola announced the strike in a statement, expressing disappointment in the Ondo State Government's failure to implement the agreement and pay the arrears. The strike, set to commence at 11:25 a.m. on Thursday, will impact all academic activities, including lectures, classes, assessments, examinations, seminars, and meetings at various levels.
ASUU has also suspended student research project supervision, industrial training, and fieldwork. The union aims to continue the indefinite strike until the government fully implements the agreement and addresses the accrued arrears. Additionally, ASUU will use press conferences and other platforms to communicate its grievances and ensure all academic staff adhere to the strike directive.
