ASUU Announces Indefinite Strike as NLC Declares Nationwide Action.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has officially declared an indefinite strike, citing unresolved issues with the government.

ASUU Announces Indefinite Strike as NLC Declares Nationwide Action.

This announcement comes as the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) prepares for a nationwide indefinite strike, set to commence on October 3rd, 2023.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), a prominent umbrella body for workers in Nigeria, has also declared an indefinite strike, set to commence on October 3rd, 2023.

The NLC’s decision comes in response to various grievances, including concerns over fuel price hikes, electricity tariff increases, and calls for improved living conditions for Nigerian workers.

JUST NOW: ASUU Shelves Proposed Strike Action

It’s important to note that ASUU is under the NLC umbrella, and their decision to embark on an indefinite strike aligns with the broader nationwide action called by the NLC.

This coordinated effort amplifies the call for improved conditions not only in the education sector but also across various sectors of the Nigerian workforce.

The coming days will be instrumental in determining the course of action, and stakeholders will be watching closely as efforts to address these concerns unfold.

This is a developing story…

  1. I’m surprised… Is the ASUU the same one that was denied eight and a half months salaries, but still facilitated the election rigging that installed the current national government?

    Well, I’m speechless, but let them face it.

  2. ASUU is not an independent body but rather a coordinated body. Whatever decision is made by the NLC is said to be Binding and not persuasive for they can not exculpate or exonerate themselves.

    Let’s stay tuned to see FG’s reaction to their actions.

  3. Are there no other means NLC could adopt apart from strike to resolve their problems? They are fighting for their selfish interests in which they cease to exist after getting what they want. Nigerians don’t need strike for now.

  4. Why can’t they do the strike once and for all and see whether it will yield result rather than compromising and frustrating the future of innocent Nigerians. Tomorrow now you go hear say them don call off strike. Waiting happen… Without reconciliation and resolution?

  14. We don’t need to strike at this critical stage of our economy.
    Strike action also refers to a collective decision by a group of workers to stop work as a means of protest against certain conditions or demands. The impact of a strike on a nation’s economy can be significant and wide-ranging. Here is a summary of the effects of strike action on a nation’s economy:

    1. Economic Disruption: Strike actions can disrupt the normal functioning of industries and sectors, leading to a decline in productivity. The interruption of work can result in production delays, reduced output, and disrupted supply chains, impacting the overall economic activity.

    2. Loss of Revenue: Strikes can lead to financial losses for businesses due to the halt in operations. For example, manufacturing companies may experience a decline in sales and revenue because of the inability to fulfil orders. This loss of revenue can have a ripple effect on the wider economy.

    3. Job Insecurity: If strike action persists for an extended period, it can result in job insecurity for workers. Businesses may be forced to lay off employees or even close down completely, leading to increased unemployment rates and financial hardship for affected individuals and their families.

    4. Decreased Investment: Strikes can create an unfavourable business environment, causing potential investors to hesitate or reconsider investing in the affected region. The uncertain labour conditions may deter both domestic and foreign investments, impacting economic growth and development.

    5. Damage to Reputation: Prolonged strikes can damage the reputation of both the company and the country as a whole. This negative image can deter potential customers, investors, and tourists, resulting in reduced economic activity and potential long-term consequences.

    6. Government Intervention: In some cases, the government may intervene to resolve labour disputes and mitigate the impact of the strike on the economy. This intervention may involve negotiations between labour unions, employers, and the government to reach a consensus and restore economic stability.

    It is important to note that the impact of a strike on a nation’s economy can vary depending on the scale, duration, and sector affected by the industrial action. In some cases, alternative strategies such as negotiations and compromise can be employed to minimize the negative effects and foster a mutually beneficial resolution.

  22. Upon the hiking of tuition fees for University student, ASUU are still agitating for strike?
    ASUU don’t know that it’s poor man sons and dougthers studying in Nigeria public university?

    Bihari said it and Tinubu reinstated again that university should be autonomous and that is why universities increase tuition fees, and now they still want to emback on indefinite strike.
    Who is to be blame?
    In fact who is leading ASUU self?

    In carying out public service, National interest should be attain to, not personal (selfish intrest) please.
