The Academic Union of Universities ( ASUU) has for the umpteenth time appealed to the federal government, to implement its various agreements – in order to avert a looming strike
At separate press conferences on Thursday, the University of Ilorin and the Kwara State university, called for the funding of existing universities instead of establishing new ones that cannot be catered for.
Since 2009 when both the federal government and members of the Academic Union of Universities entered and signed various agreements on the welfare and the need to improve infrastructure across universities, several strikes have been embarked upon to force government to hold up its end of the bargain
To call the attention of the public and stakeholders to their predicament, the University of Ilorin branch of ASUU while addressing journalists, listed several requests yet to be met.
Similarly, the Kwara State University branch appealed to stakeholders, to prevail on the federal government not to ground the education system.
The two branches moved around their campuses with various banners expressing their displeasure
