Nigerian University Lecturers, ASUU Confirms Extension Of Strike By 3 Months
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has decided to continue its strike for another 12 weeks.
Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, the National President of ASUU, verified this to SaharaReporters on Monday morning.
At an emergency National Executive Council (NEC) meeting convened at the ASUU Secretariat in Abuja, the academic body made the decision.
The emergency meeting began on Sunday and finished early Monday morning, with major officers and branch chairmen in attendance.
On February 14, members of the union began a one-month strike in protest of the Nigerian government’s inability to honor different agreements signed with them.
ASUU’s demands include the release of university revitalisation money, renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement, the release of earned allowances for university professors, and the implementation of the UTAS payment platform for the payment of university lecturers’ wages and allowances.

The union went ahead and declared an additional eight weeks of industrial action after the initial four-week warning strike ended, claiming that it was giving the government more time to address its concerns.
