ASUU strike slaps Universities hard

                                                        

THE indefinite, total strike declared by Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), is hitting Universities hard as academic activities have been crippled in several institutions. ASUU had directed all its members in Federal and State universities to embark on total, comprehensive and indefinite strike over refusal of government to implement agreement reached in 2009 with the union. By the strike, there won’t be teaching, no examinations, no grading of scripts, no project supervisions, no inaugural lectures, no appointment and promotion meeting, no statutory meeting (Council, Senate, Board, etc) or other meetings directed by government or their agents. Cause of the ASUU strike as stated by the National President of ASUU, Professor Ukachukwu Awuzie is government’s failure to honour the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement and the disregard of the two months of grace the Union gave government to show faith on the agreement smacked of insensitivity.
