ASUU decision on Strike 2022

By UNN Informant

 


It’s no longer news that the National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is mobilizing its members in preparation for a Possible Indefinite strike.

Earlier, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) postponed its decision on strike, saying that consultations are still ongoing.

This was contained in a press statement issued by the union after its National Executive Council meeting.

However, ASUU has announced 14th February 2022 as the latest date to reveal the union’s Final Decision on the planned strike.

This means that on the 14th February 2022 the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) will either declare or Postpone its Planned strike.

Although, the majority of ASUU Branches (State and Federal Universities) are fully in support of an indefinite strike.

ASUU branches have enjoined the national body of the union to embark on a total and comprehensive strike if the federal government fails to honour agreements reached with it by February 13, 2022.

Out of the Hundreds of Federal and State Universities in Nigeria, only two factions of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University chapter, are divided over the decision to join the looming national industrial action over the welfare of members.

The two factions led by Prof. Okey Aniebo and Prof. Osita Chiaghanm met in separate congresses on Tuesday and arrived at different conclusions.

 The Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo, has asked the Nigerian government to handle the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) with speed or release him from detention. The IPOB leader was granted bail by Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja in April 2017 after Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe and two others agreed to be his sureties with each of them staking N100 million worth of Abuja properties as security for the bail. But in September of that same year, soldiers invaded Kanu’s home in Afara-Ukwu, near Umuahia, the Abia state capital, forcing him to flee the country, first to Israel, and later to the United Kingdom. In June 2021, the IPOB leader was re-arrested in Kenya and extradited to Nigeria to face charges of treason. Speaking during a one-day Peacebuilding and Security Dialogue held in Awka on Saturday, Soludo said an expeditious release of Kanu would cushion the insecurity impasse in the South-East.
