Nigeria's Academic Staff Extends Six-Month-Old Strike Indefinitely

The Academic Staff Union of Universities extended its six-month-old strike indefinitely until the Federal Government meets its demands. <br />A member of the union says the union extended the industrial action after reviewing progress reports on ongoing negotiations with the Federal Government in the last four weeks when ASUU rolled over the strike. <br />ASUU embarked on the strike on February 14th, 2022. It had then declared a four-week warning strike. But after a month, the lecturers extended it by eight weeks, saying the government needs more time to look at its demands.
