The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has joined
the nationwide indefinite strike declared by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC)
and Trade Union Congress (TUC).
ASUU on Monday directed its members to join the strike
starting from Monday midnight.
The union declared their stance in a circular to its zonal
coordinators and chairpersons, signed by Emmanuel Osodeke, National President
of the Union.
“As an affiliate of NLC, all members of our union are hereby
directed to join this action of NLC to protect the interests of Nigerian
workers and the leadership of the union.
“Zonal coordinators and branch chairpersons should
immediately mobilise our members to participate in the action.”
As earlier reported, NLC and the TUC had
written to their affiliates, directing them to commence the planned nationwide
strike scheduled to begin midnight on Monday.
The strike is in reaction to the recent assault on the NLC
President, Joe Ajaero, allegedly by the Nigerian police and the Imo State
government.
