The Academic Staff Union of Universities, Federal University Oye-Ekiti chapter, have embarked on an indefinite strike over unpaid salaries.
This was announced in a letter released on September 11, 2025 and jointly signed by the Chairperson of FUOYE Chapter of ASUU, Comrade O. A. Fagbuagun and Financial Secretary, Comrade Ngwu Benitho.
According to the union, the move is in agreement with a directive from ASUU’s National Executive Council (NEC), which necessitated branches to down tools if salaries are not paid by the third day of each month.
The letter reads in part: “This is to notify the university administration that the National Executive Council of ASUU has directed that in any case, where academic staff salary is not paid latest by the third day of every month, the affected branch of ASUU should proceed on strike until the salary is paid.
“As a consequence of the above, we are using this medium to inform the administration that ASUU-FUOYE Branch has proceeded on strike until our salary is paid. This strike is total, indefinite and comprehensive. The decision of the national is hereby communicated.”
