BREAKING: ASUU Embarks on Indefinite Industrial Action




As the Nigeria's organized labour's strike looms, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has announced the commencement of an indefinite nationwide industrial action with immediate effect, starting from Monday, 5th November 2018.
The decision was announced at the end of an emergency meeting on the night of Sunday, 4th November 2018.

This came just as the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is also preparing to commence a nationwide strike on Tuesday, 6th November 2018 over a disagreement between the organised labour union and the governments on the N30,000 minimum wage.

 
Briefing newsmen after the closed-door meeting, the ASUU president, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi disclosed the strike would be total and with immediate effect.

The boss listed the reasons for their action to include: Failure on the side of the government to honour the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between the union and the federal government in 2017.

He also mentioned that renegotiation with ASUU, which the government intentionally ignored with impunity, was part of the reasons for the strike.
Professor Ogunyemi, therefore, directed all the state chapters to ensure full compliance until their demands are met.
