ASUU Denies 21-Day Strike Notice Rumors
“All those things are just social media talks. When we want to do anything, we announce it formally and we will send you a copy.”- ASUU president
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has refuted claims circulating online that it has issued a 21-day strike notice to the Federal Government of Nigeria. The reports suggested that ASUU had planned a nationwide strike due to the non-implementation of previous agreements with the government.
These rumors emerged following a meeting of ASUU’s National Executive Council (NEC) at the University of Ibadan, Oyo State. However according to the Daily Post, ASUU President Emmanuel Osodeke has dismissed these claims as mere “social media talk.” He clarified that any official action by the union would be formally announced to the public.
Osodeke emphasized that the union has not made any such decision and urged the public to disregard the false reports.
