The management of the Ladoke Akintola
University of Technology, Ogbomoso, has invited the Academic Staff Union
of Universities and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian
University, as well as other workers’ unions in the university to a
meeting to discuss the way forward.
There is an indication that the planned
meeting is intended to address some issues, including unpaid salary
arrears of 11 months, which forced all the unions to embark on an
indefinite strike at different times.
