Lecturers at the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), under the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), have declared an indefinite strike following the non-payment of their salaries.

The industrial action was conveyed in a letter dated September 11, 2025, and co-signed by ASUU-FUOYE Chairperson, Comrade O. A. Fagbuagun, and Financial Secretary, Comrade Ngwu Benitho. The letter, addressed to the Acting Vice-Chancellor, stressed that the move was in line with a directive from ASUU’s National Executive Council (NEC).

“This is to notify FUOYE Administration that the National Executive Council of ASUU has directed that in any case where academic staff salary is not paid by the 3rd of every month, the affected branch of ASUU should proceed on strike until the salary is paid,” the union said.

ASUU-FUOYE added that the action should not be seen as a local decision but a national directive meant to enforce accountability in salary disbursement across universities.

“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 letter further stated.

The union vowed that the strike would continue until all outstanding salaries were fully cleared, urging management to take immediate steps to resolve the issue
