The Chairman of the union, Dr. Boluwaji Oshodi, disclosed this in a memo to the university management on Sunday, noting that the decision followed resolutions reached at the union’s congress held on Thursday, August 21.

The memo stated: “By this notice, our members have been directed to suspend all academic activities until all outstanding salaries and arrears are fully paid.

Speaking further in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, Oshodi confirmed that members of the union were owed two months’ salaries. “We are being owed two months’ salaries. We made several efforts by contacting the university management and even wrote to the state government,” he explained.

He alleged that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa had on multiple occasions assured the union of payment, but those assurances had not been fulfilled. “The governor made repeated promises which we trusted, until it became clear that matters were not being resolved,” Oshodi said.

Efforts to get the university management’s reaction proved abortive, as the institution’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Victor Akinpelumi, did not respond to calls placed to him.
