The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has joined the ongoing nationwide strike organized by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC).
This decision follows the Federal Government’s failure to meet the demands for a revised minimum wage.
In a statement issued on Monday, ASUU President Emmanuel Osodeke instructed university lecturers across the country to participate in the strike.

The statement, addressed to branch chairpersons and zonal coordinators, emphasized ASUU’s commitment as an affiliate of the congress.
“The NLC has declared an indefinite strike action starting Monday, June 3, 2024, due to the Government’s failure to renegotiate the minimum wage for Nigerian workers and reverse the hike in electricity tariffs,” the statement read.
“Our branches are hereby enjoined to join the strike action as an affiliate member of Congress.
Consequently, branch chairpersons are to mobilize all members to participate in the strike action. Yours in the struggle.”
Further details will be provided as the situation develops.
