The Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka Branch, Comrade Steve Ufoaro, has attributed the protracted ASUU strike to continuous  failure  of the Federal Government to implement agreements with the Union and its other responsibilities to Nigerian Universities.

While speaking to some selected journalists on FG/ASUU strike update in Awka, on Saturday, Comrade Ufoaro listed the major contentious issues as Revitalization Funds, Recommendations by the Visitation Panels on the Needs of Universities and Earned Academic Allowances and the Integrated Payroll And Personnel Information System (IPPIS) which the union insists is unhealthy for an effective University system in the country.
