The Abia State University (ABSU), Uturu chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), on Tuesday, began an indefinite work-to-rule action to protest non-remittance of their nine months check off dues by the university management.
ABSU-ASUU chairman, Dr. David Chikezie, explained that the strike was in protest against the insensitive attitude of university authorities over their plight.
He said the lecturers would be reporting to duty but would not teach until their January and February salaries were paid and nine months check-off deduction remitted to the union’s purse.
However, the state Commissioner for Education, Dr. Monica Philips, when contacted, said she was not aware of the work-to-rule by the lecturers because she would have been informed by the Registrar if anything is going on.
