Hardship: ASUU joins nationwide strike
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has announced its participation in the ongoing nationwide strike initiated by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) starting from Monday.
The organized labour commenced this industrial action due to the federal government’s failure to meet the unions’ minimum wage demand.
In a statement directed to the branch chairpersons and zonal coordinators, ASUU President Emmanuel Osodeke instructed lecturers in universities across the nation to join the strike as an affiliate of the congress.
“The NLC has declared an indefinite strike action beginning from Monday, June 3, 2024, as a result of the failure of the government to conclude the renegotiation of minimum wage for Nigerian workers and reversal of hike in electricity tariff.
“Our branches are hereby enjoined to join in the strike action as an affiliate member of Congress.
“Consequently, branch chairpersons are to mobilize all members to participate in the strike action. Yours in the struggle,” the statement read.
