Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has approved the implementation of the 2025 agreement between the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Federal Government at Osun State University, signaling a major breakthrough for academic staff in the institution.
The move, which took effect with the payment of arrears dating back to January 2026, was confirmed in an official statement issued by the university’s Public Relations Officer, Ademola Adesoji.
According to the statement, the approval covers key elements of the agreement, including the Consolidated Academic Allowance, the newly introduced tax-free Consolidated Tools Allowance, and Professorial Allowances.
University authorities noted that the implementation is expected to significantly improve staff welfare, enhance institutional stability, and foster industrial harmony within the university system.
Reacting to the development, the Chairman of ASUU at UNIOSUN, Wende Olaosebikan, described the decision as both timely and impactful.
“On behalf of Congress and the entire ASUU-UNIOSUN, we sincerely appreciate His Excellency for this life-impacting decision. This is a clear demonstration of responsive leadership and commitment to workers’ welfare,” he said.
Olaosebikan also lauded the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Council, Wale Oladipo, alongside members of the University Council, for their role in facilitating the process.
He further commended the Vice-Chancellor, Odunayo Clement Adebooye, noting that the university management exhibited proactive leadership in securing approvals and ensuring the agreement’s execution.
Meanwhile, the ASUU Ibadan Zone hailed the development as a victory for dialogue and justice in university labour relations, emphasizing the importance of sustained engagement between government authorities and academic unions.
