The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has threatened to embark on a fresh nationwide strike action except the government responds to its demands.
The president of ASUU, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, issued the warning at a press conference on Tuesday at the ASUU national headquarters in Abuja.
He blamed the failure of the federal government to appoint new governing councils for federal universities after dissolving them in May last year for the impending strike action.
Osodeke said the government needs to be accountable to the people for every decision it makes.
The union also accused the government of President Bola Tinubu of having a nonchalant attitude towards matters pertaining to academics in Nigerian Federal Universities.
ASUU further faulted the 35 per cent salary increment for professors and the 25 per cent salary increment for other academics in the university system, saying the wage award could be easily withdrawn by the government anytime it deems fit.
