The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has extended its warning strike by eight weeks.
ASUU’s decision followed its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held at the University of Abuja secretariat after the expiration of its one-month warning strike.
According to the union in a statement by the president, Emmanuel Osodeke, its decision is based on lack of seriousness on the part of the federal government.
“NEC, having taken reports on the engagements of the Trustees and Principal Officers with the Government, concluded that Government had failed to satisfactorily address all the issues raised in the 2020 FGN/ASUU Memorandum of Action (MoA) within the four-week roll—over strike period and resolved that the strike be rolled over for another eight (8) weeks to give Government more time to address all the issues in concrete terms so that our students will resume as soon as possible.
“The roll-over strike shall commence by 12.01 am on Monday, 14 March 2022.”
