ASUSS and NANS Reject NUT Strike, Urge Dialogue for Education
The Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools (ASUSS), Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Chapter, and the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Joint Campus Council (JCC), FCT Chapter, have publicly distanced themselves from the ongoing strike declared by the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), FCT Wing. ASUSS Chairman Julius Ogundiran stated that secondary school teachers in the FCT remain in their classrooms, asserting that ASUSS is not on strike and disapproving of the NUT's actions as ill-timed and counterproductive.
He emphasized the importance of the ongoing 2026 Computer-Based Test (CBT) promotion examination and the need for teachers' career progression and students' academic futures to be safeguarded. ASUSS's Public Relations Officer, Comrade Pastor Ibiam Cyril Johnson, declared the NUT strike illegal and noted that ASUSS operates independently of NUT.
NANS JCC FCT Chapter Secretary-General, Comrade Abdulkarim Abba Muhammad, echoed calls for dialogue to prevent students from suffering due to disputes between labor and government.
