ASUU DECLARES INDEFINITE STRIKE

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has declared a total and indefinite strike.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the union’s National Executive Council held on Sunday in Abuja. The union started its ongoing strike on February 14, 2022.

The strike is in protest against the government’s failure to release revitalisation funds for universities, failure to release the white paper report of the visitation panel to universities and the failure to deploy the University Transparency Accountability System for the payment of salaries and allowances of lecturers.

The union’s President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, disclosed the outcome of the NEC meeting in a statement on Monday titled, ‘ASUU strikes are to save public universities.’
