The Academic Staff Union of Universities has declared a \u201ccomprehensive and total\u201d strike.<\/p>\n
The strike was declared at a press conference addressed by the President of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, on Monday.<\/p>\n
He said the strike, which commences on Monday, February 14, 2022, would last for an initial period of four weeks.<\/p>\n
Members of the union\u2019s National Executive Council had held marathon meetings since Saturday at the University of Lagos titled, \u2018NEC for NEC.\u2019<\/p>\n
ASUU had sensitised and mobilised lecturers and students across all universities on the reason the union might likely go on strike.<\/p>\n
Recall that union had expressed grievances over the failure of the Federal Government to fulfil some of the agreements it made as far back as 2009. ASUU had on November 15, 2021, given the federal government a three-week ultimatum over the failure to meet the demands.<\/p>\n
The lecturers threatened to embark on another round of industrial action following the alleged \u201cgovernment\u2019s unfaithfulness\u201d in the implementation of the Memorandum of Action it signed with the union, leading to the suspension of the 2020 strike action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
