The Benue State Government has made an urgent appeal to the staff of Moses Adasu University, Makurdi (MOAUM), to call off their ongoing indefinite strike action. The plea comes as the government seeks a peaceful resolution to the contentious issues that have led to the work stoppage, which began approximately two weeks ago.
The strike was initiated by aggrieved staff members due to the government’s failure to implement several approved welfare packages. Among the key demands is the payment of the new national minimum wage, a critical issue that has fueled the unrest within the institution.
In a statement, the government expressed its commitment to addressing the staff’s concerns and urged them to return to work to facilitate constructive dialogue. The appeal highlights the need for a collaborative approach to resolve the ongoing impasse and restore normal academic activities at the university.
Further details of the situation are available in the full story shared by BENUE info-pedia, a local news source, in the comments section of their recent post.
Stay tuned for updates as negotiations between the Benue State Government and the university staff continue to unfold.
