The Edo State Government has reportedly suspended the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), and other unions across all state-owned institutions of higher learning.
This action was conveyed in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Secretary to the State Government, Osarodion Ogie, which said; the decision was reached after the State Executive Council meeting at the Government House in Benin City, following the protest by students of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, over the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
“The management of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, has been directed to implement a no-work-no-pay policy, declare vacant and advertise the position of any staff that refuses to resume work in line with this directive.”
