ASUU stated it took this choice after its National Executive Council assembly which commenced on Sunday night time on the Comrade Festus Iyayi National Secretariat, University of Abuja.

The declaration read, “After sizeable deliberations, noting the Government’s failure to stay as much as its obligations and swiftly deal with all of the troubles raised withinside the 2020 FGN/ASUU Memorandum of Action (MoA) in the extra eight-week roll–over strike duration declared on 14th March 2022, NEC resolved that the strike be rolled over for twelve weeks to present Government greater time to satisfactorily solve all of thenotable troubles.

“The roll-over strike movement is with impact from 12.01 a.m. on Monday, ninth May 2022.”

“The assembly changed into referred to as to check trends because the Union declared an eight-week generaland complete roll-over strike movement on the cease of its emergency NEC assembly on the Comrade Festus Iyayi National Secretariat, University of Abuja, Abuja on 14th March 2022.

Those in energy became their lower back on our degraded universities as they commuteamong Europe and America to have a good time the commencement in their youngsters and wards from world-magnificence universities.

“NEC condemned the provocative statements of a few authorities functionaries and salutes the Nigerian Labour Congress, patriotic students’ groups, and civil society companies who’ve taken steps in the direction of resolving the cutting-edge exertions dispute with the Nigerian authorities.

“NEC determined the deliberate distant places journey prepared with the aid of using the Committee of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities’ Spouses (CVCNUS) despicable and condemnable.
