Nationwide Strike: ASUU Join the Fray, Declare Strike of their Own


Nationwide Strike: ASUU Join the Fray, Declare Strike of their Own

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) have announced that they will be commencing a strike action from today the 18th of May 2016.
This was declared by Vice President, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi. The strike action is in a bid, much like the NLC, to get the Federal Government to revert fuel prices to N86.50.

The University of Ibadan chapter of ASUU led by Chairman Dr Deji Omole mobilized members to get ready for mass resistance to what he called the obnoxious and callous policy of fuel price increment.
He was of the opinion that the move by the Buhari led government was simply an attempt to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

The ‎ASUU president in the letter entitled “Increase in Pump price of Premium Motor Spirit to N145 per litre: Proposal for Joint Action with NLC stated that ASUU members are called upon to according to our Union’s principles, fully respect Article 2 of the Constitution of ASUU; that our Union and members shall work for the protection and advancement of the socio-economic interests of the nation. Branch Chairpersons are to conduct emergency congress meetings on Tuesday 17 May 2016 to mobilize our members for the action commencing on Wednesday. All branches of ASUU nationwide are to comply”
