The National Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has chosen to go on a one month warming strike.
According to a source, the union would have to go on an indefinite strike if the Government fails to respond to their demand. It was also stated that the reason for the one month warning strike is to allow the FG to do the needful.
Recall that the ASUU has been asking for a number of demands including the payment of Earned Academic Allowance, renewal of funds, among others.
Following the statement, he said;
“We just want to give the Government a long rope hoping that it would see the need to avoid a total paralysis of academic activities in the nation’s universities. We are parents too and have our children in the system but we cannot watch and allow the total collapse of education in the country.
“Our agitation is in the interest of all and if the system is made better, we will all enjoy it. Prominent personalities in the country have waded into the matter but the government seems recalcitrant. Our National President would explain more when he briefs the press later today.
