After serious deliberations that dragged into the early hours of Monday, the National Executive Council, NEC, of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has voted to embark on one-month warning strike to press home its demands from the government.

A source at the meeting held in Lagos told newsmen in confidence that the strike is to allow the Federal Government do the needful failure to which the union would go on an indefinite strike.
โ€œWe 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 nationโ€™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.
โ€œOur 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,โ€ he said.
Recall that the union has been agitating for a number of demands including the payment of Earned Academic Allowance, revitalization fund, the replacement of the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System, IPPIS, with the University Transparency and Accountability System UTAS, among others.
