The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), on Monday announced its decision to embark on a one month warning strike.

The National Executive Council (NEC) of the union made this resolution during a meeting which held at the Aderinokun Auditorium of the University of Lagos (UNILAG).

The ASUU NEC announced that the one-month warning strike will take effect immediately, urging all its members to adhere to the decision.

Speaking during a press conference, the National President of the union, Professor Emmanuel Osodeko who described the decision as painful, said it was needed to allow the development of education in the country.

He declared that ASUU will not relent in its historic responsibility of advocating for an improved university system, adding that it holds the key to the collective prosperity and a better future for Nigerian children.

In his words, “Comrades and compatriots, it was a painful decision for NEC to arrive at the roll-over strike option.

“Contrary to the views canvassed in some quarters, our union loathes to disrupt academic activities on our campuses. We love our students and respect their parents and guardians.

“We are also not insensitive to the genuine concerns about stable academic calendars in public universities expressed by patriotic Nigerians and lovers of Nigeria.

“But the blame should be squarely put at the doorsteps of those who are ignored our patriotic yearnings for a development-oriented education in Nigeria.”

“The patience of our members has been tasked beyond tolerable limits. The greatest assets of any nation is its human capital. Any nation that pays lip service to education as we currently witness in Nigeria will only grow in age and never experience genuine development.

“We, therefore,, seek the understanding and support of all stakeholders to make Nigerian government more responsive to issues of human capital development including health and education.

“We invite all lovers of education to join our struggle for a greater Nigeria. Nigerian politicians keep proliferating educational institutions without prioritizing education.”
