Osodeke made these claims during a press conference on Wednesday at Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike (MOUAU). At the conference, he issued a 21-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to address all outstanding ASUU issues or face potential union actions.
Joining Osodeke were several ASUU officials, including Comrade Happiness Uduk (ASUU Coordinator, Calabar Zone), Professor Denis Aribodor (ASUU Coordinator, Owerri Zone), Professor Michael Ugwuene (ASUU Chairman, MOUAU branch), and Professor Kingsley Ubaoji (ASUU Chairman, Nnamdi Azikiwe University).
Osodeke criticized the Nigerian Government for its perceived reluctance to invest in education. He listed several key issues: the review and signing of the renegotiated 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement, sufficient funding for universities including an emergency revitalization fund, payment of overdue academic allowances, and resolution of issues related to withheld salaries, promotion arrears, and third-party deductions.
He also called for the immediate implementation of a presidential directive to remove university lecturers from the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPS), questioning why the directive issued by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) in December 2023 remains unfulfilled by the Accountant General of the Federation.
