ASUU extends strike by another twelve weeks

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has extended the ongoing strike by twelve weeks.

The president of the union, Professor  Emmanuel Osodeke said this today.

In a statement he issued after the varsity teachers’ meeting held at the University of Abuja, the ASUU president said the decision was to give the government enough time to resolve all outstanding issues with the lecturers.

He said after extensive deliberations, noting the Government’s failure to live up to its responsibilities and speedily address all the issues raised in the 2020 FGN/ASUU Memorandum of Action within the additional eight-week roll–over strike period declared on fourteenth, March 2022, NEC resolved that the strike be rolled over for twelve weeks to give Government more time to satisfactorily resolve all the outstanding issues.

“The roll-over strike action is with effect from 12.01 a.m. on Monday, 9th May 2022.”
