ASUU notify another strike warning.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities said on Monday that it would commence a warning strike on October 2.
A statement signed by Ben Ugheoke, the Chairman, University of Abuja chapter of ASUU, stated that the Federal Government had failed to embark on meaningful dialogue with the union.

“ASUU has being trying to get the attention of the Federal Government to intervene in the academic system of universities across Nigeria but it has all been abortive.
“Consequently, ASUU will give a warning strike which will start on October 2nd.

“The strike will last for one week, and if they do not give us listening ears, we will start the indefinite strike in November.”
ASUU had at a recent news briefing accused the Federal Government of reneging on the 2009 agreement with the union.
“The current issues in contention include funding of universities for revitalisation in line with the Memorandum of Understanding the Federal Government and ASUU had signed in 2013.
“Re-negotiation of the FGN/ASUU 2009 agreement ASUU believes will reposition the entire education sector.
“We also demand the facilitation of the registration of the Nigerian Universities Pension Management Company, among other issues in the FG/ASUU 2009 agreement.”
