NewzAcademic activities at two major tertiary institutions in Bayelsa State came to a halt on Tuesday after the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) declared an indefinite strike. The industrial action was initiated following the state government's alleged refusal to honour collective bargaining agreements (CBA).
In addition to the unfulfilled agreements, the strike was triggered by 19 months of accumulated salary arrears owed to academic staff at the affected Bayelsa universities. The stoppage underscores ongoing labour tensions between state authorities and university unions regarding staff welfare and institutional funding.
