ASUU to make a decision on whether or not to go on strike by Monday

As we previously reported, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) will make its final decision on whether or not to begin an indefinite strike action at a meeting of its national executive council (NEC) members scheduled to take place by 12 midnight on Sunday.

The conference, dubbed “NEC for NEC,” is an extension of an existing two-day gathering of NEC members, which has been assessing the stances of each of the union’s branches on the contentious issue of whether or not to take strike action.

In the wake of earlier public engagement and sensitization congress meetings of the various branches, which prompted the proclamation of lecture-free periods throughout the several campuses, the NEC meeting, which began on Saturday at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka, was convened.

The union had previously stated that it will convey its decision to the media on Monday.
