AAUA lecturers begin strike over unpaid salaries

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) chapter, has directed its members to withdraw services over alleged unpaid salaries by the Ondo State Government.

The Chairman of ASUU, AAUA Chapter, Dr Boluwaji Oshodi, announced this in a memo to the university management on Sunday, August 31, 2025.

Oshodi said the directive followed the resolution reached at the union’s congress on August 21 over the non-payment of salaries and arrears.

“By this notice, our members have been directed to suspend all academic activities until all outstanding salaries and arrears are fully paid,” the memo read in part.

Speaking on the development on Sunday, Oshodi confirmed that union members were owed two months’ salaries.

The ASUU chairman added that several efforts, including letters to the state government about the union’s plight, had been ignored.

“We are owed two months’ salaries. We made several efforts by contacting the university management and even wrote to the state government,” Oshodi explained.

He alleged that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa made repeated promises, which ASUU trusted, until it became clear that matters were not being resolved.

The university’s management has yet to speak on the development as of press time.
