ASUU President, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, issued the directive on Monday evening via a letter sent to all union zonal coordinators and branch chairpersons.

The letter read, “The Nigeria Labour Congress at a Joint National Executive Council (NEC) of NLC and TUC directed all affiliate Unions to commence withdrawal of services with effect from 12:00 midnight today 13th November 2023.”

“As an affiliate of NLC, all members of our union are hereby directed to join this action of NLC to protect the interest of Nigerian workers and the leadership of the union.”

”Zonal coordinators and branch chairpersons should immediately mobilise our members to participate in the action.”

”A people united cannot be defeated,” he said.
