ASUU Begins Another Indefinite Strike, Today

The National Executive Committee of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has ended its two-day meeting at the University of Lagos, Akoka, with a final decision to proceed on an indefinite strike.
The strike takes effect from Monday, February 14, 2022.
ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, yesterday, said the strike was against their wish but they had to put the interest of the union first.
He said, “I announce to you with a heavy heart the commencement of a nationwide strike starting from 14th February till our needs are met.”
The union had expressed grievances over the failure of the Federal Government to fulfill 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.
The lecturers threatened to embark on another round of industrial action following the alleged “government’s unfaithfulness” in the implementation of the Memorandum of Action it signed with the union, leading to the suspension of the 2020 strike action.
