The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has informed the Federal Government of its plans to embark on a nationwide strike by placing the government on a 21-day notice.
According to PUNCH, the notification was confirmed by sources within ASUU’s National Executive Council (NEC) on Monday in Abuja.
The notice was issued following 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, speaking on the condition of anonymity, 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.
However the source further said that the 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.
