ASUU Strike: MHWUN Threatens Solidarity Strike 

Worried by the state of tertiary education in the country, the Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria (MHWUN) has put its state councils on standby to declare a solidarity strike for the university-based unions.
A statement jointly signed by the National President, Biobeleye Josiah, and Acting Secretary-General, Auwalu Kiyawa, insisted that the body would not hesitate to act if the Federal Government fails to resolve the ongoing impasse in the shortest possible period.
The Tide reports that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU), Senior Association of Universities Teaching Hospital, Research Institutes & Allied Institutions (SAUTHRIAI) and National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT) are currently on work-to-rule over the failure of government to honour the terms reached in the May 2021 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the university teachers.
MHWUN stressed that no responsible government would close down its public tertiary institutions in this 21st century, adding that patriotism demands better funding for the universities and welfare for its teaching and non-teaching staff.
The group expressed its worry over the development when juxtaposed against the academic future of the citizenry when children of politicians and top government officials are busy schooling uninterruptedly abroad and at a higher fee.
