The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has joined the nationwide indefinite strike declared by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC).
Recall that NLC and the TUC had on Monday written to their affiliates, directing them to commence the planned nationwide strike scheduled to commence at midnight on Monday.
However, ASUU on Monday also directed its members to join the strike starting from Monday midnight as well.
According to the National President of the Union, Emmanuel Osodeke, who authorized the circular to its zonal coordinators and chairpersons said โAs an affiliate of NLC, all members of our union are hereby directed to join this action of NLC to protect the interests of Nigerian workers and the leadership of the union.
โZonal coordinators and branch chairpersons should immediately mobilise our members to participate in the action.โ
