The Joint Action Committee (JAC) of Ondo State-owned tertiary institutions has declared a total, comprehensive, and indefinite strike across the state's universities. This decision comes after the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum given to the state government to implement the Federal Government/Unions Agreement and pay associated allowances to staff members.
The strike involves the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU), and National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT). The affected institutions include Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology (OAUSTECH), and the University of Medical Sciences, Ondo (UNIMED).
The unions claim that the state government failed to fulfill its commitment to a 60% increase in subventions and implement the FGN/Unions Agreement, leaving them with no other option but to embark on the industrial action.
