ASUU Threatens Strike Over Unmet Demands, FG Criticized for Inaction

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has issued a stark warning to the Federal Government, threatening to resume its suspended strike if urgent demands are not met. ASUU's Bauchi zone coordinator, Prof. Timothy Namo, criticized the government for doing "practically nothing" to resolve key issues, leading to a two-week warning strike declaration.

ASUU highlighted concerns over salary increases, welfare, work conditions, and delayed payments, citing a lack of political will to prioritize education. The union called on students, traditional leaders, civil society groups, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and the National Assembly to pressure the government for concrete action.
