News: Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) strike update

The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of University, ASUU, has said that the 4month old strike would only be called off if the federal government of Nigeria pays them their four month salary arrears since the inception of the strike as well as the full implementation of the N1.2 trillion federal govt proposed funding for public universities with the immediate release of N100 billion this year. The remaining N1.1 trillion would be spread for 5 years.

They made this resolution after their Friday November 23rd National Executive Council meeting held in Kano state. A meeting between them and President Jonathan is been called for by the association before they can call off the strike.
