University lecturers under the umbrella of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, on Monday begin an indefinite strike across the country. National President of ASUU, Professor Ukachukwu Awuzie, who made this known on Sunday in Port Harcourt said...
the strike would be "total and comprehensive". According to him, there would be no grading and marking of scripts while the strike action lasted.
He explained that their decision stemmed from what he described the refusal of the federal government to implement the core components of the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement.
According to him, with the failure of federal government to address the issues even when ASUU granted it a two months grace period, it had become clear that the government was not willing to honor the agreement.
Describing the decision to embark on the indefinite strike as very painful Prof Awuzie, who was flanked by other members of his executive, further revealed that the ASUU would alien with allied unions in the country to resist the proposed removal of fuel subsidy by the government.
