ASUU extends strike by two months

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has extended its warning strike for another two months.

The decision to extend the strike was reached at the union’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held in Abuja last night.

The union had embarked on a one-month warning strike on February 14 over failure of the government to implement agreements entered with the union.

The union said the extension of the strike is to allow the government more time to meet all its demands to avoid future strikes.
