ASUU Strike Latest: Union Denies Suspending Its Eight Months Old Strike

ASUU Threatens Fresh Strike Action If FG Fails To Honor Agreement.

New reports indicates that lecturers in public universities may soon begin another strike if the federal government fails to fulfil its own part of the agreement reached in December 2020.

 The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) revealed that a fresh industrial action could commence as early as next week.

The union made the disclosure in a tweet on Monday, January 4.

 In another tweet on Tuesday morning, January 5, ASUU advised the government to honor the agreement reached to avert the planned strike.

 Meanwhile, Nigerian university teachers have accused the federal government of reneging on the agreement reached with ASUU.

The allegation comes two weeks after the lecturers suspended their nine-month-old strike.

In a statement released to journalists, ASUU noted that the government was yet to pay their December salaries, while “illegal” deductions were still to be refunded.
