Just when we thought that
the era of incessant strike actions in the country has embraced the abyss, the
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) unexpectedly pays university
students an August visit. Just like every other August visitor, this unexpected
visitor never failed to go along with a package.
ASUU on Sunday declared a
nationwide strike action to commence the same day, Sunday, August 13, 2017. The
Union took the decision to declare the strike after deliberations at its
National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held at the University of Abuja on August
12, 2017.
According to ASUU
National President, Comrade Biodun Ogunyemi:
The strike action is to be a total, comprehensive and indefinite action whereby no form of academic activities including teaching, attendance of any meeting, conduct and supervision of any examination at any level, supervision of project or thesis at any level should take place at any of the nation’s universities.
