ASUU threatens fresh strike, gives FG 3-week ultimatum
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has given the federal government a 21-day ultimatum to resume its suspended strike if it failed to implement the agreement reached with the union.
Emmanuel Osodeke, the ASUU national president, gave the ultimatum after the union’s national executive council (NEC) meeting at the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) on November 13 and 14.
Osodeke said the industrial action became necessary due to the failure of the federal government to implement the memorandum of action (MoA) it signed with the union upon which the last strike action was suspended.
“We are giving the Federal Government a three-week ultimatum, if after three weeks they don’t meet our demands, we will be going on strike,” he said.
“We believe we have tried enough by giving them enough time.”
ASUU had earlier warned the federal government not to push the union into another strike by neglecting its demands.
