Anxiety As ASUU Makes Decision On Strike Today

The Academic Staff Union of Universities is expected to come up with a decision on whether to embark on fresh industrial action known on Monday (today).

Members of the union’s National Executive Council have been holding marathon meetings since Saturday.

Members of NEC, including ASUU leaders across campuses, had been in a closed-door meeting at the University Of Lagos, Akoka and would have the final lap of the meeting by 12 midnight Monday.

They promised to address a press conference on Monday (today) to announce the resolutions of the two-day meeting titled, ‘NEC for NEC.’

There was anxiety among university students and parents last night over fear that the union may declare fresh strike.

ASUU decided to embark on the two-day meeting after it had sensitised and mobilised lecturers and students across all universities on the reason the union might likely go on strike.
