ASUU mulls one-month warning strike

The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has resolved to embark on one-month warning strike to press home its demands from the Federal Government.

This is coming after a marathon meeting by members of the union’s National Executive Council which began on Saturday and ended in the early hours of Monday.

A source at the meeting disclosed that the one-month warning strike is to allow the Federal Government implement the Memorandum of Action it signed with the union.

The source added that ASUU would proceed on an indefinite strike if the government fails to do the needful.

The source disclosed: “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.”
