Latest update on asuu strike today 23 august 2022
As of August 23, 2022, the latest update on the ASUU strike is that the strike has been ongoing for over 7 months, and there is still no clear end in sight.
Here are some recent updates:
- On August 18, 2022, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) announced that it would not call off its strike until the Federal Government meets its demands, which include the implementation of the 2009 FGN-ASUU agreement, the payment of outstanding salaries and allowances, and the revitalization of universities.
- On August 19, 2022, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, met with ASUU leaders to discuss the ongoing strike. However, the meeting ended without a resolution, as ASUU insisted that the government must meet its demands before calling off the strike.
- On August 22, 2022, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) called on the Federal Government to meet ASUU's demands and end the strike. NANS also threatened to embark on a nationwide protest if the strike is not called off soon.
- On August 23, 2022, ASUU announced that it would hold a national executive council meeting to discuss the ongoing strike and the government's response to its demands.
It's worth noting that the strike has had a significant impact on the academic calendar, with many students unable to attend classes or complete their studies. The strike has also affected the morale of university staff and the overall quality of education in Nigeria.
I will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
