The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has declared an indefinite strike at universities in Bayelsa State over unresolved issues involving the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and 19 months of salary arrears.
The union said the decision followed the failure to resolve outstanding demands concerning the welfare and working conditions of academic staff in the state's universities.
The strike is expected to affect academic activities at the affected institutions, with lectures and other university operations potentially disrupted until the issues are addressed.
ASUU's demands reportedly include the implementation of a new CBA and payment of outstanding salary arrears owed to affected university workers.
The development is expected to put further pressure on the Bayelsa State Government and relevant university authorities to reach an agreement with the union and restore normal academic activities.
Students and other members of the university communities are expected to monitor further announcements from their institutions and the union as negotiations continue.
