The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) says it is prepared to embark on an indefinite nationwide industrial action.
The final decision to commence the nationwide strike would be reached at a meeting of the union on Monday in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
However, the decision was disclosed in a statement signed on August 12 by the ASUU President, Biodun Ogunyemi, after a series of discussions with the government.
Ogunyemi explained that the government has failed to fully implement the 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement and the 2013 Memorandum of Understanding.
He added that related demands made by the union have not been addressed, which is why they have resolved to embark on a “total, comprehensive and indefinite strike” from Sunday, August 13, 2017.
