ASUU Demands 2022

ASUU reasons:

1. EARLIER, ASUU embarked on strike action in March 2020, following its disagreement with the Federal Government over the funding of the universities.
2. Also, implementation of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS), which according to the Union, negates the autonomy policy for the universities, among other issues.
3. The Union called off its 9-month old strike in December 2020 after the Federal Government agreed to some of its conditions.
4. These include the deployment of University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) software for payment of its salaries and allowances. However, a year after signing the MoA, ASUU accused the government of failing to fulfill its side of the bargain and threatened to mobilise for another actions immediately.
5. The government quickly moved to pay N55bn as part-payment for the Earned Academic Allowance and Revitalisation Fund, but the union was unmoved until the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council and other dignitaries waded in.
6. ASUU said the federal government has only addressed 2 out of its 8 demands, including the visitation panel to federal universities and described the release of funds for the Earned Academic Allowance and revitalisation funds as partial.
7. Some of the demands of ASUU include the sustainability of the university autonomy, which it said the introduction of IPPIS violates.
8. Immediate deployment of UTAS to replace IPPIS; renegotiation of the 2009 ASUU-FGN agreement.
   Release of the reports of visitation panels to federal universities and distortions in salary payment challenges.
9. Others include funding for revitalisation of public universities, earned academic allowance, poor funding of state universities and promotion arrears.
