“The decision is painful yet inevitable”: ASUU begins indefinite strike over allowance
Posted by Y! Assistant Editor

The Academic Staff Union of Universities on Monday has declared an indefinite strike action in the aftermath of the body’s National Executive Committee meeting held at the  Olabisi Onabanjo University Ago-Iwoye in Ogun State.

The meeting which dragged from Sunday through Monday saw 51 of the 53 branches of ASUU unanimously agreeing to embark on the strike action.

The decision was taken following the federal government’s inability to honour the Academic Earned Allowance (AEA) which formed a component of the 2009 Agreement government signed with the union.

Read the Nation Newspapers report below:

Declaring the strike, ASUU chairman University of Lagos (UNILAG) chapter, Dr. Karo Ogbinaka, who addressed reporters at the university premises described the strike as a “painful yet inevitable decision.” He added that ASUU is tired of government’s dilly dallying, and cannot allowed itself to be insulted any further.

Throwing more light on the AEA, Ogbinaka said it includes allowances paid as part of excess work load responsibility allowance, and allowance for supervision of Post Graduate Programmes for lecturers, head of department (HoDs), Deans and exam officers, among others.

He added that the highest AEA is not more than N12, 500 per month, wondering why it has remained difficult for government to live up to its promises

THE cure for the dreaded Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) may be on the way soon with the report yesterday of two patients who were given bone marrow transplants to treat cancer remained free of the virus even after stopping HIV treatment. The results presented at a meeting of the International AIDS Society in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia may yield growing hope that the virus could someday be cured, not just kept in check with a cocktail of medicines as it is now. Giving an update in an eagerly followed trial, researchers said an HIV-positive infant in Mississippi, United States, who was put on a course of antiretroviral drugs within a few days of birth had remained free of the AIDS virus 15 months after treatment was stopped. In Boston, United States, two HIV-positive men who were given bone-marrow transplants for cancer also had no detectable virus 15 weeks and seven weeks respectively after stopping AIDS drugs, a separate team reported.
