ASUU leadership set to meet to decide on strike continuation

The National Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of Universities will meet on Sunday, August 28, 2022, to decide on whether to suspend or continue with the ongoing industrial action at its national headquarters at the University of Abuja.

This was revealed by a member of the council who spoke to a news outlet. According to the source, the meeting was necessitated due to the four weeks ultimatum the union had given to the government which expires on August 28.

He explained that whatever decisions will be taken will be based on the results of the state congresses held across various zones

When asked if the union will consider calling off the strike, the source asked, “Does it look like the government wants to end the strike?”
