ASUU threatens nationwide strike

In apparent display of crass incapacity, the failure of the federal government to reconstitute governing councils of universities may precipitate and needless strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU. Upon assuming office, President Tinubu needlessly dissolved the governing councils of all universities owned by the federal government even when most of these councils were reconstituted barely a year earlier for a term of four years. The body, which recalled that the federal government dissolved governing councils of the universities in May, last year, has asked Nigerians to hold the government responsible for any decision it takes to protest the action of government. ASUU Chairman, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke Osodeke, spoke at a press conference at ASUU national secretariat, Abuja.
