The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has joined the ongoing strike by the Organized Labour.
This was contained in a statement issued by Emmanuel Osodeke, the association’s President and addressed to the branch chairpersons and zonal coordinators of ASUU on Monday.
“The NLC has declared an indefinite strike action beginning from Monday, 3rd June 2024, as a result of the failure of Government to conclude the renegotiation of minimum wage for Nigerian workers and reversal of hike in electricity tariff,” the statement read.
“Our branches are hereby enjoined to join in the strike action as an affiliate member of Congress.
“Consequently, branch chairpersons are to mobilise all members to participate in the strike action. Yours in the struggle.”
ASUU, itself has been embroiled in a struggle over withheld salaries and appointment of Governing Councils of Tertiary Institutions with the Federal Government.
