ASUU Strike – ASUU Declares Nationwide Indefinite Strike in Solidarity with NLC and TUC

ASUU Strike – ASUU Declares Nationwide Indefinite Strike in Solidarity with NLC and TUC. The apex body of ASUU has announced that her members are joining the nation wide strike in solidarity with NLC and TUC. Here are all you need to know.

In a decisive move, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has announced its participation in the nationwide indefinite strike called by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC). This development comes as a response to the alleged assault on NLC President, Joe Ajaero, reportedly by the Nigerian police and the Imo State government.

ASUU’s National President, Emmanuel Osodeke, issued a circular directing all members to join the strike, emphasizing the need to protect the interests of Nigerian workers and demonstrate unity within the union. The circular, addressed to zonal coordinators and branch chairpersons, urged immediate mobilization of members to actively participate in the nationwide action.

This latest development adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing labor unrest in Nigeria, as various unions join forces to address perceived injustices and advocate for the rights of workers. The nationwide strike, scheduled to commence at midnight on Monday, aims to draw attention to the pressing issues faced by the labor force and to condemn the reported attack on NLC President Joe Ajaero.

As the strike gains momentum, concerns rise regarding its potential impact on the academic sector. With ASUU, a prominent association in higher education, joining forces with the NLC and TUC, the collective voice demanding justice and fair treatment reverberates across various sectors.

The decision to strike comes at a time when tensions are already high, stemming from the reported assault on NLC President Joe Ajaero. The unions aim not only to protest this incident but also to address broader issues affecting workers nationwide. This includes concerns about working conditions, wages, and the overall welfare of Nigerian workers.

The circular issued by ASUU emphasizes the union’s affiliation with the NLC and its commitment to standing in solidarity with the larger labor movement. The call for immediate mobilization indicates a unified front against perceived injustices, signaling a strong message to authorities.

The strike is expected to have widespread implications, affecting universities and academic activities across the country. As the situation unfolds, it raises questions about the potential for resolution and the broader impact on the education sector and the Nigerian workforce.
