The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at Imo State University (IMSU) has declared an indefinite strike, crippling academic activities at the institution.
The union is protesting the non-payment of salaries, promotion arrears, and other entitlements owed to its members by the state government.
This industrial action has thrown the university community into turmoil, with students left uncertain about their academic future.
The strike is the latest in a series of disputes between ASUU and the Imo State government, which has been accused of neglecting the welfare of academic staff despite repeated appeals.
The union has vowed to continue the strike until the government meets its demands, leaving thousands of students in limbo.
Parents and guardians are also feeling the pinch, as the prolonged closure of the university disrupts their children’s education.
The state government has yet to respond to the union’s demands, raising fears that the strike could drag on for weeks, further compounding the challenges facing the education sector in Nigeria.
