The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has declared a two-week warning strike, effective from midnight today, following what it described as the federal government’s continued insincerity in addressing its long-standing demands.

According to Piwuna, the union’s patience has been overstretched by the government’s lack of commitment to implementing agreements previously reached. He added that the warning strike is intended to compel the authorities to take the union’s demands more seriously before resorting to a total shutdown of academic activities across universities.
“We have been patient long enough. The government has shown insincerity in our negotiations, and this has made it necessary to take action,” Piwuna stated.
Consequently, ASUU has directed all its members across universities in the country to withdraw their services effective from 12 midnight, in full compliance with the strike directive.
The declaration raises fresh concerns over another potential disruption in Nigeria’s public university system, which has suffered repeated setbacks due to industrial actions in recent years.
