The University of Lagos (UNILAG)chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has cleared the air on speculations that it has called off the strike.
ASUU UNILAG chapter has restated its commitment to the ongoing strike embarked upon by public university lecturers in the country.
A statement issued on Tuesday by the Chairperson of the branch, Dele Ashiru, read in part, “The attention of the leadership of ASUU-UNILAG has been drawn to a fake and dubious news purporting that ‘ASUU-UNILAG chapter gives up for the first time, votes for suspension of the strike.’
“This is to inform the general public that the strike in UNILAG is still in force and there is no threat to it whatsoever.
“ASUU-UNILAG is convinced that the strike action is a just and patriotic struggle to save the public university system in Nigeria from imminent collapse.”
ASUU had on Monday, declared an indefinite strike after its National Executive Meeting.
Recall that ASUU declared a warning strike on February 14, 2022, before declaring an indefinite strike to press home their demands.
