ASUU Sticks to Strike Threat if FG Fails to Meet Demands
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has reiterated its plan to commence a nationwide warning strike if the Federal Government fails to meet its demands by the October 13 deadline. ASUU President, Comrade Chris Piwuna, announced the decision following an ultimatum issued last week.
The union seeks the implementation of the renegotiated 2009 Agreement and other outstanding issues. Piwuna criticized the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) as unrealistic in the current economic situation.
ASUU emphasized that the strike is a response to the government's inaction despite years of negotiation and promises.
