The Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) has extended its warning strike by eight weeks to give the Federal Government time to meet its demands.
President of ASUU Prof Emmanuel Osodeke disclosed this in a statement on Monday morning at the end of the National Executive Council meeting of ASUU which held at its National Secretariat located at the University of Abuja.
โNEC, having taken reports on the engagements of the Trustees and Principal Officers with the Government, concluded that Government had failed to satisfactorily address all the issues raised in the 2020 FGN/ASUU Memorandum of Action (MoA) within the four-week roll-over strike period and resolved that the strike be rolled over for another eight (8) weeks to give Government more time to address all the issues in concrete terms so that our students will resume as soon as possible.
โThe roll-over strike shall commence by 12.01am on Monday, 14th March, 2022,โ the statement said.
ASUU had on February 14, declared a warning strike following the failure of the Federal Government to deploy the University Transparency and Accountability Solution and other demands.
Despite series of meetings with the Federal Government team chaired by Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen Chris Ngige, both sides have failed to reach an agreement.
