Academic staff members of the Ekiti State University, EKSU, Ado Ekiti, on Tuesday embarked on an indefinite strike over non-payment of their January and February salaries.


The industrial action paralyzed academic activities at the institution as the lecturers stayed away from work. Students who had come for lectures were observed discussing their frustration in hush tones among themselves.

Chairman of EKSU chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Prof. Olufayo Oluodo, said the academic staff had no option than to stay away from work because the non-payment of their salaries had made life difficult for them.

According to him, “Our members have no money again to be moving up and down, we are being owed two months and we have not been paid at all this year.

“We have made our position known to the university authorities and we have written to the state government on the matter.

“We have met with the Deputy Governor to resolve the matter and another meeting with government has been slated for tomorrow.”
