“Congress was informed of the approval of national to allow members of ASUU-AAUA withdraw their services until all outstanding salaries three months and deductions seven months are fully paid.
“All members are, therefore, directed to withdrawn their services with immediate effect. This withdrawal affects all formal engagements/activities.
“Having waited in vain these past months to see a positive turning around, we are left with no other choice than this last resort, as our members have been systematically, financially, psychologically and morally disempowered.
“It is hoped that these issues would be resolved soon to allow us effectively resume the performance of our services to the University.”
