Otti takes responsibility, apologises for ASUU strike at Abia university
Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has apologised for the recent strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) chapter at Abia State University (ABSU), describing the industrial action as avoidable.
The industrial action was subsequently resolved after the intervention of a committee led by the Secretary to the State Government, with the state government announcing on 24 August that the outstanding issues had been addressed.
The union had cited outstanding welfare and institutional demands, including the non-implementation of the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU agreement, irregular promotions, non-remittance of cooperative deductions and outstanding Earned Academic Allowances dating back to 2009.
