The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Monday declared an
indefinite strike nationwide. The union adopted a resolution to go on
strike after its ASUU-NEC meeting at the Olabisi Onabanjo University
(OOU), Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, from Sunday till Monday.
Fifty-one of the union’s 53 branches unanimously agreed to embark on the strike. The action followed the default by the Federal Government to:
Honour the Academic Earned Allowance (AEA) which formed a component of the 2009 agreement the FG signed with the union.
Declaring the strike, ASUU Chairman at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) chapter, Dr Karo Ogbinaka, told reporters yesterday that the strike was a “painful yet inevitable decision”.
