Breaking: ASUU issues 21-day strike notice to FG

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has issued a 21-day strike notice to the Federal Government.

According to PUNCH, the notification was confirmed by sources within ASUU’s National Executive Council (NEC) on Monday in Abuja.

The notice was said to have been issued after a crucial NEC meeting held at the University of Ibadan, where members deliberated extensively on the current state of affairs.

A copy of the notice is expected to be transmitted to key government bodies, including the Federal Ministries of Labour and Education, as a formal warning of the impending industrial action.

A member of the NEC clarified that the notice should not be interpreted as an ultimatum but as a formal strike notice.

“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,” the source said.
