ASUU Set to Embark on Nationwide Strike If FG Fails to Honour Agreement By Aug 31st

;

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has threatened that it is gearing up for another strike action due to the failure of the Federal Government to implement an agreement signed with the union. The union has given the FG until Tuesday, August 31st, 2021 to reach out to them or they will have no other option than to activate the procedure of embarking on strike.

According to the President of the union, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, who disclosed this in an interview, the FG no longer picked its calls.

He said, “The government has refused to reach out to us. Government officials have stopped. In fact, they don’t take our calls again. Nigerians should tell the government to do what they agreed to do.

“We signed an agreement and even in May, we reached a final agreement; this is August and nothing has been implemented. Does it make any sense? We are giving them till the end of August and after that, we start the procedures.”
