The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has notified the Federal Government of its intention to commence a nationwide strike, giving a 21-day notice, according to The Punch.
Sources within ASUU’s National Executive Council confirmed this development to The Punch on Monday in Abuja.

The notice was issued following the NEC meeting at the University of Ibadan, and a copy is set to be sent to the Federal Ministries of Labour and Education.
“It is not an ultimatum but a strike notice. We are giving them 21 days’ notice, after which we shall embark on strike.
“Our aim for putting out the notice is that it is a requirement under labour laws so we are trying to ensure that all our actions are done according to the law,” the source said.
It is worth noting that ASUU had previously threatened to strike because the federal government had not fulfilled the agreed-upon terms.
