The leadership of
the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has declared a nationwide
strike, commencing from November 16, 2016.
ASUU's President,
Biodun Ogunyemi made the disclosure on Monday, after an emergency National
Executive Council (NEC) meeting which held at its headquarters located inside
the University of Abuja.
According to
Ogunyemi, the strike will take a warning shape for one week, pending the
response from government to subsisting demands raised by the union.
He said if the
Federal Government feign's ignorance of the warning strike it shall declare an
indefinite and comprehensive action.
ASUU particularly
took a swipe on the Muhammadu Buhari administration, faulting the recent
approval granted by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) for the establishment
of eight new universities.
It said the
rationale for establishing more universities when the existing ones were in
such a deplorable state calls to question the policies of government regarding
education.
