The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has informed the Federal Government of its plans to embark on a nationwide strike.
Sources within the National Executive Council of ASUU confirmed that the union has placed the government on a 21-day notice.
The notice was issued at the end of the NEC meeting, which was held at the University of Ibadan, and a copy is expected to be transmitted to the Federal Ministries of Labour and Education.
“It is not an ultimatum but a strike notice. We are giving them 21 days’ notice, after which we shall embark on strike.
“Our aim for putting out the notice is that it is a requirement under labour laws so we are trying to ensure that all our actions are done according to the law,” a source told Punch.
