A former President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Prof Biodun Ogunyemi says a fresh strike by lecturers of public universities cannot be ruled out in 2023.
He made this claim on Saturday while featuring on a television programme to review the year 2022.
Recall that ASUU embarked on industrial action that lasted over eight months in 2022 following demands for improved welfare and owed earned allowances, among others.
However, ASUU ended the strike following the Industrial Court’s judgement asking its members to return to work.
Ogunyemi said the Federal Government is insensitive to the plights of ASUU and noted that it is an injustice not to pay its members in arrears as they work in arrears as well.
“We must understand what triggers strike action. I don’t think anybody can promise you there will be no strike (in 2023),” Ogunyemi said.
