The ASUU chairman said that the union was fighting for its rights, having tried enough to dialogue with the government.
On Sunday, university teachers declared a two-week warning strike.
Mr Piwuna explained that rivalry among the unions would not benefit the university system.
He said the ultimatum was due to continued neglect of the education sector and lecturers’ welfare by both federal and state governments.
The non-remittance of the said dues to the national secretariat of the union led to the suspension of the chapter by the national leadership of ASUU.
Mr Alausa said Mr Tinubu had mandated him and the Minister of State for Education, Suwaiba Ahmad, to work with all stakeholders to resolve the issue permanently.
“Professors in Nigeria earn less than $300 monthly. Our union will continue to fight for dignity within the system,” Mr Yusuf-Ahmed said.
The chairman also described the scheme as a “poisoned chalice” and urged members to stay away from it.
Mr Omenyi said ASUU remained committed to quality education and the defence of university autonomy.
He said the introduction of the Contributory Pension Scheme in 2024 negatively impacted the welfare package of its retired members.
