The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has taken a bold step by serving the Federal Government a 21-day strike notice, paving the way for a nationwide industrial action.<\/p>\n
Sources within ASUU’s National Executive Council confirmed the development, stating that the notice was issued after a meeting at the University of Ibadan, with a copy to be sent to the Federal Ministries of Labour and Education.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not an ultimatum but a strike notice. We are giving them 21 days\u2019 notice, after which we shall embark on strike.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur aim for putting out the notice is that it is a requirement under labour laws so we are trying to ensure that all our actions are done according to the law,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n
It would be recalled that ASUU had threatened to embark on strike over the non-implementation of agreements reached with the federal government.<\/p>\n
ASUU emphasized that the notice is a legal requirement, ensuring that all actions are taken in accordance with labour laws.<\/p>\n
The strike notice comes after ASUU’s threats to embark on industrial action due to the non-implementation of agreements reached with the federal government, including the 2009 re-negotiated agreements, academic allowances, and revitalisation funds.<\/p>\n
ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, highlighted the government’s failure to implement agreements, including the payment of academic allowances and revitalisation funds, and the unchecked proliferation of universities without adequate funding.<\/p>\n
With the 21-day notice period underway, the stage is set for a potential nationwide strike, unless the federal government takes swift action to address ASUU’s demands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
