ASUU Chapter Declares Indefinite Strike
The Academic Staff Union of Universities at Bayelsa State Government-owned Niger Delta University has declared an indefinite strike over the government’s alleged failure to honour agreements reached with the union.
The strike action was announced on Tuesday following a meeting at the union’s secretariat in Amassoma.
Details of the union’s grievances and the impact of the strike on academic activities at NDU are expected to unfold in the coming days.
A week ago, the ASUU Chapter of Sa’adu Zungur University (SAZU), Bauchi, also declared an indefinite strike to drive home its demands for better conditions of service from the university management.
Addressing journalist shortly after an emergency congress held at the Yuli, Bauchi Campus of the university, ASUU Chairperson, SAZU branch, Comrade Awwal Hussain Nuhu, explained that the congress observed that it had exhausted all mechanisms, and all attempts to get the authorities to attend to its demands were fruitless.
