ASUU begins preparation for strike, declares Monday lecture-free
The Academic Staff Union of Universities has urged its chapters across the country to sensitise members of the public on the situation between the union and the Federal Government.
This is why, in order to raise awareness, it has designated Monday, February 7, 2022 as a lecture-free day. Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, the Union's National President, revealed this in a chat with our correspondent on Saturday evening. Sunday

When members of the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council came to see Buhari to discuss the remaining issues, he made the pledge.
Buhari pleaded with the union to be patient and evaluate present economic realities as he made the vow. ASUU's most recent nationwide strike began in March 2020 and ended in December 2020, when a Memorandum of Action was signed. However, a year after signing the Memorandum of Understanding, ASUU accused the government of failing to live up to its end of the bargain and threatened to go on strike again right once.
