The
Academic Staff Union Of Universities (ASUU) has commenced an indefinite strike.
An official of the union, Ben Ugwoke from the
University of Abuja, confirmed the development to Premium Times Sunday
night.
When contacted, the chairman of ASUU at Obafemi
Awolowo University, Adeola Egbedokun, said the strike is total and indefinite
until the union’s needs are met.
The strike is to protest the poor funding of
Nigerian universities and alleged plan by the federal government to
increase students fees and introduce an education bank.
Led by its National President, Biodun Ogunyemi,
ASUU declared the strike at the end of its National Executive Council (NEC)
meeting late on Sunday.
