Nigeria Labour Congress Threatens to Join ASUU Strike Over Unmet Demands

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has threatened to join the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike if the Nigerian government does not address demands within two weeks. NLC President Joe Ajaero warned of a possible strike in solidarity with ASUU due to the government's failure to honor agreements with university workers.

The NLC expressed deep concern over the crisis in Nigeria's public education system, citing chronic underfunding and the government's refusal to implement agreements voluntarily reached with lecturers. The NLC called on the government to address core issues and negotiate with ASUU to avoid a strike.
