The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has joined the ongoing strike initiated by the organized labor groups, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC).
This decision follows the Federal Government’s failure to meet the unions’ minimum wage demands.
In a statement on Monday, ASUU President Emmanuel Osodeke instructed branch chairpersons and zonal coordinators to have university lecturers nationwide participate in the strike as members of the congress.
The statement read, “The NLC has declared an indefinite strike action beginning from Monday, 3rd June 2024, as a result of the failure of Government to conclude the renegotiation of minimum wage for Nigerian workers and reversal of hike in electricity tariff.
“Our branches are hereby enjoined to join in the strike action as an affiliate member of Congress.
“Consequently, branch chairpersons are to mobilise all members to participate in the strike action. Yours in the struggle.”
