The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has joined the nationwide indefinite strike called by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC), according to a circular sent by the union’s national president, Emmanuel Osodeke, to its zonal coordinators and chairpersons.
The union declared its stance in a circular to its zonal coordinators and chairpersons, signed by Emmanuel Osodeke, National President of the Union
As an affiliate of the NLC, all members of our union are hereby directed to join this action of the NLC to protect the interests of Nigerian workers and the leadership of the union.
“Zonal coordinators and branch chairpersons should immediately mobilise our members to participate in the action.”
The strike is in reaction to the recent assault on the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, allegedly by the Nigerian police and the Imo State government.
