The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has directed its members to join in the ongoing strike embarked upon by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and Trade Union Congress, TUC.
Organized Labour begun the industrial action on Monday, after the federal government failed to meet the unions’ minimum wage demand.
In a statement addressed to the branch chairpersons and zonal coordinators of ASUU President, Emmanuel Osodeke, said: “The NLC has declared an indefinite strike action beginning from Monday, 3rd June, 2024, as a result of the failure of Government to conclude the renegotiation of minimum wage for Nigerian workers and reversal of hike in electricity tariff.
“Our branches are hereby enjoined to join in the strike action as an affiliate member of Congress.
“Consequently, branch chairpersons are to mobilise all members to participate in the strike action. Yours in the struggle.”
