The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has joined the nationwide strike initiated by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) starting Monday, June 3.
The strike began due to the federal government’s failure to meet the unions’ minimum wage demands.
ASUU President Emmanuel Osodeke instructed university lecturers across the country to participate in the strike as part of the union’s affiliation with the NLC.
The statememt reads: “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.”
