ASUU extends strike by 12 weeks

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has extended its ongoing strike by 12 weeks.

ASUU said it took the decision after its National Executive Council meeting which was held on Sunday at the University of Abuja, as the issues that informed the strike had not been resolved.

According to the president of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, in a statement issued, the decision was taken to give the federal government ample room to resolve the crisis that informed the strike.

The strike, the union said, took effect from Monday morning.

The strike action came on the heels of the Government’s failure to satisfactorily implement the Memorandum of Action (MoA) it signed with the Union in December 2020 on renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement, deployment of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS), Earned Academic Allowances (EAA), funding for revitalization of public universities (both Federal and States), proliferation and governance issues in State Universities, promotion arrears, withheld salaries (owed for over 20 months in some cases), and Non-emittance of third-party deductions.”
