Workers at Ekiti State University are threatening to strike due to concerns over inadequate welfare provisions and insufficient funding for the institution. The university’s labor unions have issued a formal appeal to Governor Biodun Oyebanji, urging his immediate intervention to address the deteriorating conditions. Specific issues reportedly include poor salaries, lack of benefits, and a general decline in the university’s financial stability. The unions have not yet announced a specific strike date, but warned that industrial action is imminent if their demands are not met. This potential disruption could significantly impact academic activities and students’ learning. The workers are hoping for a swift and positive response from the state government to avert a crisis. The situation highlights ongoing challenges faced by many Nigerian universities regarding funding and employee welfare.
