Breaking!!! ASUU goes on Indefinite Strike
The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, is about to embark on an indefinite strike action after an extensive deliberation at its meeting held at the University of Abuja from Friday. Consequently, the union has directed all members against going to teach or involving themselves in any academic activity.
The final decision to commence the nationwide strike would be reached at a meeting of the union on Monday, 14th August 2017 in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, according to ChannelsTV reports.
According to a statement signed by Biodun Ogunyemi, ASUU president, the union explored all means of negotiation before the decision to embark on an indefinite strike action was reached. Poor funding of Nigerian universities, part-payment of salaries of lecturers and the kidnap of two lecturers of the University of Maiduguri by the Boko Haram are among major reasons for the strike action.
