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 (UNIOSUN). Payment of arrears will begin in January 2026, covering the Consolidated Academic Allowance (CAA), the tax-free Consolidated Tools Allowance (CATA), and Professorial Allowances. The University's Public Relations Officer, Ademola Adesoji, confirmed the development in a statement.
Dr Wende Olaosebikan, Chairman of ASUU UNIOSUN Chapter, praised Governor Adeleke for what he called a life-impacting decision. He described the approval as a demonstration of responsive leadership and commitment to workers' welfare. Olaosebikan also commended Pro-Chancellor Prof. Wale Oladipo, the University Council, and Vice-Chancellor Prof. Odunayo Clement Adebooye for their roles in facilitating the implementation.
The Ibadan Zone of ASUU termed the development a "triumph of dialogue and justice" in university labour relations. Stakeholders noted the move is expected to boost staff morale, improve productivity, and stabilise the academic environment. UNIOSUN is now among the leading state-owned universities in Nigeria in implementing agreements on academic staff welfare. The state government's action was acknowledged despite prevailing financial constraints.
