According to him, members are owed two months’ salaries, and repeated efforts to get the state government to address the issue have been ignored.

“By this notice, our members have been directed to suspend all academic activities until all outstanding salaries and arrears are fully paid,” the memo read.

Oshodi told the News Agency of Nigeria that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa had made promises to resolve the matter, but none had been fulfilled.

Attempts to get a response from the university management were unsuccessful, as calls to the Public Relations Officer, Victor Akinpelumi, went unanswered.
