The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Akure Zone, has accused the Ondo State Government of failing to implement the financial provisions of the 2025 Federal Government-ASUU Agreement, six months after it came into effect.

At a press conference at the University of Medical Sciences, UNIMED, the Akure Zonal Coordinator of ASUU, Adeola Egbedokun, described the government's continued delay as harmful to the welfare of university lecturers and the quality of higher education in the state.

He added that Ondo State, as the leading oil-producing state in the South-West, and a beneficiary of the 13 per cent derivation fund, should have been among the first to comply with the agreement.

Egbedokun also criticized the state's decision to set up a committee to review an agreement that had already been negotiated, stressing that representatives of state-owned universities were part of the negotiation process that produced the final agreement.
