Lecturers at the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) in Oye Local Government Area of Ekiti State have embarked on an indefinite strike over unpaid salaries.

The strike was announced by the FUOYE chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

The union, in a letter addressed to FUOYE Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Olubunmi Shittu, on Thursday, September 11, 2025, said the industrial action is in line with the national body’s directive.

The letter, which was jointly signed by the branch Chairman, O. A. Fagbuagun, and Financial Secretary, Ngwu Benitho, stated that the strike would continue until the lecturers’ salaries were paid.

FG denies signing agreement with ASUU  

The letter read: “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.”
