BREAKING: ASUU extends warning strike for another eight weeks

165

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) announced on Monday that it had extended its warning strike by eight weeks.

Following the expiration of its one-month warning strike, ASUU’s National Executive Council (NEC) met at the University of Abuja office to make the decision. It based its decision on the Federal Government’s lack of sincerity.

“NEC, having taken reports on the engagements of the Trustees and Principal Officers with the Government, concluded that Government had failed to satisfactorily address all the issues raised in the 2020 FGN/ASUU Memorandum of Action (MoA) within the four-week roll—over strike period and resolved that the strike be rolled over for another eight (8) weeks to give Government more time to address all the issues in concrete terms so that our students will resume as soon as possible,” a statement by ASUU’s president, Emmanuel Osodeke, read.

“The roll-over strike shall commence by 12.01 am on Monday, 14 March 2022.”
