ASUU joins organized labour’s nationwide strike

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) announced a continuing strike on Monday, and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has joined them.

After the federal government did not meet the unions’ demand for a minimum wage, organised labour started an industrial action.

ASUU President Emmanuel Osodeke has instructed teachers at institutions throughout the nation to join the strike as an affiliate of the congress in a message sent to branch chairpersons and zonal coordinators.

It read:

“The NLC has declared an indefinite strike action beginning from Monday, June 3, 2024, as a result of the failure of the government to conclude the renegotiation of minimum wage for Nigerian workers and reversal of hike in electricity tariff.

“Our branches are hereby enjoined to join in the strike action as an affiliate member of Congress.

“Consequently, branch chairpersons are to mobilise all members to participate in the strike action. Yours in the struggle.”
