Following agitations and threats from the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, of embarking on strike, the union has reportedly declared a “comprehensive and total” strike.
This was reportedly declared at a press conference addressed by the President of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, on Monday.
The Union leader made it known that the strike, which commences on Monday, February 14, 2022, would last for an initial period of four weeks.
A source at the conference in Lagos, reportedly stated, “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.”
The source added, “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.”
