The move comes after repeated negotiations and appeals to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to end the strike, which has disrupted the academic calendar and affected students.

According to the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Abdul-Rasheed, the management has conceded ground on several issues, including promotion, deanship elections, and recruitment. However, ASUU has not shown a willingness to compromise, despite the university's goodwill and offers of negotiation.
