The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has resolved to
embark on an indefinite strike action after an extensive deliberation
that lasted three days.
The lecturers union held its meeting at the University of Abuja
from Friday and has directed all her members against going to teach or
involving themselves in any academic activity.
In a statement signed by ASUU President, Biodun Ogunyemi, he
revealed that all means of negotiation had been exploited before the
decision on an indefinte strike action was reached.
After asking its branches to conduct referendum among members to
determine if the strike will hold, the result was an overwhelming yes by
the branches to proceed on strike.
Information revealed has it that the lecturers are striking because
of poor funding of universities, part-payment of salaries of lecturers
and the kidnap of two lecturers of the University of Maiduguri by the
Boko Haram.
