AAUA shut down as ASUU embarks on indefinite strike

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), Ondo State, has commenced an indefinite strike over alleged non-payment of salary arrears by the state government.
The union directed its members to withdraw their services from all academic activities until outstanding salaries and arrears are fully paid.
In a communique made available to Journalists on Sunday by the Chairman, ASUU, AAUA, Dr. Boluwaji Oshodi, and secretary, Olusegun Taiwo, the union said the decision was reached at its congress held on Thursday, August 21, 2025.
According to the communique, the strike became inevitable after repeated appeals to the university authorities and Ondo State government to offset the backlog of salaries and arrears failed to yield results.
“By this memo, our members have been directed to withdraw their services from all academic activities in the University until all our outstanding salaries and arrears are paid,” the statement read.
The union assured stakeholders of its commitment to the overall development of the institution but maintained that the welfare of its members could no longer be neglected.
