Lecturers at the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), under the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), have embarked on an indefinite strike over the non-payment of salaries.
The industrial action was announced in a letter dated September 11, 2025, co-signed by ASUU-FUOYE Chairperson, Comrade O. A. Fagbuagun, and Financial Secretary, Comrade Ngwu Benitho, and addressed to the Acting Vice-Chancellor.
The union said the move complied with a directive from ASUU’s National Executive Council (NEC), which mandates branches to down tools if salaries are not paid by the third day of each month.
Describing the strike as “total, indefinite, and comprehensive,” ASUU-FUOYE vowed it would continue until all outstanding salaries are cleared.
The union also urged the university management to understand that the action was not a local decision but a national directive aimed at ensuring prompt salary payments across Nigerian universities.
The letter reads in part, “This is to notify FYOYE 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.
“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”, it added.
