The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at the University of Port Harcourt has announced an indefinite strike due to ongoing issues with incomplete salary payments and responsibility allowances. This decision came after the union's meeting with university management on September 11, where they were given a 48-hour window to resolve the problems, but the administration failed to act.
The union also highlighted that ASUU members have been excluded from receiving responsibility allowances for other unions for over two years. ASUU Secretary Tarila Amakoromo stated that a strike was declared at an emergency congress held on Wednesday, September 16, as a result of the administration's continued inaction despite the promise to address the demands.
Lecturers are instructed to cease all academic and official duties during the strike, and a strike monitoring team has been established to ensure compliance across the university's campuses and centers.
