Government delegation, led by Minister of
Labour and Employment Dr. Chris Ngige.
Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi assured the public
that the union would not hesitate to resume
the suspended action should the government
renege on the newly signed agreement, which
he called Memorandum of Action.

Here are the five demands
requested by the Association:
Areas of agreement include
funding for revitalization of
public universities and the issue
of Earned Academic Allowances;

of TSA, which included the issue

well as salary shortfall, which is
already being implemented by the
government;

The union also promised to
submit a position paper to the
Federal Government on their
observation with a view for
