Academic Staff Union of Universities
has announced an indefinite strike action.
ASUU which tasked its local branches
to conduct referendum among members on whether or not to proceed on an
indefinite strike has adopted the overwhelming position of the branches.
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 are among major reasons for the
strike action.
Nigerian students are set for a
lengthy stay at home as the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has
embarked on an indefinite strike action.
The lecturers decided to go on
strike after an extensive deliberation at its meeting held at the University of
Abuja from Friday.
Consequently, the union has directed
all members against going to teach or involving themselves in any academic
activity.
According to a statement signed by ASUU
president, Biodun Ogunyemi, the union explored all means of negotiation before
deciding to embark on an indefinite strike.
