The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has announced that it would embark on a warning strike on October 2.
According to a statement from Ben Ugheoke, the Chairman, University of Abuja chapter of ASUU, FG has failed to engage the union in meaningful dialogue.
“We have tried to dialogue with the Federal Government but they have been playing games with us; we will start with a warning strike to show them we are not jokers.
“ASUU has being trying to get the attention of the Federal Government to intervene in the academic system of universities across Nigeria but it has all been abortive.
“Consequently, ASUU will give a warning strike which will start on Oct. 2nd.
“The strike will last for one week, and if they do not give us listening ears, we will start the indefinite strike in November,” Mr. Ugheoke said in the statement.
Coordinator of Abuja Zone, Theophilus Lagi, added that FG had only implemented 30 per cent of the provisions of Universities Needs Assessment document which was signed in 2009.
