ASUU to go on one-month warning strike

The National Executive Council, NEC, of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has voted to embark on a one-month warning strike.

According to a source, the strike is to allow the Federal Government do the needful and if otherwise, the union will not hesitate to go on an indefinite strike.

“We just want to give the government a long rope hoping that it would see the need to avoid a total paralysis of academic activities in the nation’s universities. We are parents too and have our children in the system but we cannot watch and allow the total collapse of education in the country. Our agitation is in the interest of all and if the system is made better, we will all enjoy it.

“Prominent personalities in the country have waded into the matter but the government seems recalcitrant. Our National President would explain more when he briefs the press later today” he said
