Imo State University Chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), led by Odinakachukwu Ejiogu, recently organized a peaceful protest to bring attention to series of pressing grievances affecting its members.
Ejiogu decried the prolonged delays in promotions without corresponding financial benefits, the backlog of unpaid pensions, and various other challenges that significantly impact the welfare and morale of university staff.
According to him some of their demands are the grievances related to promotions that have not been accompanied by the necessary financial adjustments, as well as complaints about selective salary payments, non-disbursement of earned academic allowances, failure to remit union dues, and the continued delay in implementing agreed-upon wage increases.
Despite repeated efforts to engage with University Management, the Commissioner for Education, and the Chief of Staff, The ASUU-IMSU regret that little progress has been made in resolving these critical issues.
He urgently appealed to the Imo State Governor, who serves as the University’s visitor, to intervene promptly and decisively to address these longstanding issues.
