The National Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has voted to embark on a one-month warning strike following the non-implementation of some agreements entered with the federal government. The one-month warning strike begins Today February 14th, 2022.
According to a source who spoke to newsmen, the union resorted to going on the warning strike in order to allow the Federal Government to do the needful, and if the government fails to respond, the union will embark 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
