Prof. Moyosore Ajao, the Unilorin ASUU branch Chairman, confirmed to the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Ilorin that Unilorin would join the industrial action to press home their demands.
Ajao explained that the two weeks warning strike is over non-payment of salaries of lecturers who failed to enrol in the Federal Government’s Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System.
He however said the union would hold an emergency meeting with members in the university on Tuesday, before proceeding with the strike same Tuesday.
NAN reports that the National President of ASUU, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, has called on affected members to embark on two weeks warning strike after the ASUU National Executive Council meeting in Enugu.
