Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education chapter of the Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) has begun an indefinite strike.

The strike, which began yesterday, was a result of the lecturers’ grievances over months of unpaid allowances and arrears.

The union accused the management of taking it for granted despite its patience and tolerance.

Declaring the strike at the union’s secretariat, the Chairman of COEASU-AOCOED, Comrade Ige Ajayi, lamented that it was already three months that the union suspended its strike in order to give room for dialogue, to no avail.

Ige listed some of the union’s grievances to include unpaid 53.37 per cent allowance and arrears, unfair redistribution of electricity on campus, management’s inability to establish the college bookshops and inexplicable promotion criteria for academic staff, among others.

However, the Registrar, Mr. Shehu Muhideen, said that the issue of bailout was the prerogative of the government, which had not yet responded at the time of this report.
