The Abia State University (ABSU), Uturu chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), on Tuesday, began an indefinite work-to-rule action to protest non-remittance of their nine months check off dues by the university management.
.
ABSU-ASUU chairman, Dr. David Chikezie, explained that the strike was in protest against the insensitive attitude of university authorities over their plight.
.
He said the lecturers would be reporting to duty but would not teach until their January and February salaries were paid and nine months check-off deduction remitted to the union's purse.
.
However, the state Commissioner for Education, Dr. Monica Philips, when contacted, said she was not aware of the work-to-rule by the lecturers because she would have been informed by the Registrar if anything is going on.
