Over the years, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) have not had their demands met from past governments which have been pending till date.
The Buhari administration which ended weeks ago did not allegedly meet the demands of these bodies. Therefore, ASUU and ASUP are banking on the new administration to fulfill their pending demands.
The ASUU National President Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke have asked Tinubu to pay the withheld salaries of all university workers from the previous administration.
"Tinubu should also ensure that we have in Nigeria what other countries have that make people troop into their countries for education. He should ensure that the budgetary allocation given to other countries that are doing well in terms of education should be allocated to ensure that the system becomes functional. Sincerely, there should be a designated meeting with ASUU and negotiations, that way, we will solve all these problems. Let universities operate according to their laws." He added.
