Legit.ng previously reported that on Tuesday, February 8, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) said there is no going back on the impending indefinite nationwide strike, which may soon send the public university system back to the trenches in the country.
The strike, described as mother-of-all strikes, according to the union, will be total and comprehensive, as all members of the union across Nigerian universities have solidly declared their full support and solidarity for the action.
This was disclosed at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) during a press conference addressed shortly after the congress and sensitisation rally by the ASUU Lagos zone, comprising UNILAG, LASU, OOU, FUNAB and TASUED.
ASUU, lecturers make big announcement as they accuse FG of insincerity
Meanwhile, ASUU on Monday, February 7, accused the federal government of insincerity in their agreement to implement the memorandum of action both parties signed in 2021.
The national president of ASUU, Emmanuel Oshodeke, said the union would embark on another strike if the government fails to implement the agreement.
While noting that the union does not trust the Federal Government, Oshodeke said ASUU had embarked on a mobilisation exercise across universities in the country with a view to prepare students for the planned strike action.
