LATEST STRIKE UPDATE

 STRIKE CONTINUES AS NEC FAILS TO CALL OFF STRIKE

 The action by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, abbreviated ASUU, will continue as members of the National Executives Council, NEC, of the union fail to consider the option of suspending the strike action at its meeting hosted on Monday 1st August,2022 in Abuja.

Checks showed that the meeting was only briefed by the national leadership of the union on their interactions and submissions made to the Prof. Nimi Briggs Committee set up the Federal Government to renegotiate the 2009 Agreement with the union. 

A source said the leadership also told the meeting about the intervention of the NLC,known as the Nigerian Labour Congress, in the matter and the subsequent nationwide solidarity rallies held by the Congress and its associates last week.

 There was no need for the NEC to consider suspending the strike, since there is no sign of any serious commitment from the government.. Can anyone say this is what the goverement is offering? They were the ones who set up the Briggs Committee and it made recommendations and the government discarded the report.

The union has been on strike since February 14 this year and non-teaching staff unions later embarked on their own strike.

Last week, solidarity rallies were held across the states and in Abuja to force the goverement to  acquiesce to the requests of the union and for immediate reopening of the universities.
