NEWS ASUU to embark on strike




 The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has expressed its intention to join the nationwide strike action organized by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), scheduled to commence on September 6, 2023. The NLC is initiating this two-day warning strike in protest of fuel subsidy removal, naira devaluation, and alleged threats by the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, regarding the demolition of properties owned by federal capital workers.


ASUU President, Osedeke Emmanuel, affirmed the union's commitment to adhere to the NLC's directive regarding the impending strike. He stated, "We are members of NLC, affiliates; therefore, if they declare a strike, our members will participate." Emmanuel conveyed this message to The Whistler Newspaper, emphasizing that the government holds the responsibility to resolve the issues at hand to avert the strike. However, in the event of an NLC strike, ASUU, as an affiliate, would have no choice but to comply.



It's worth noting that the planned strike may impact more than 81 universities, including 43 federal universities and 38 state universities, that are part of ASUU.
