Strike still in Going on – UNILAG ASUU

 The ASSU, University of Lagos branch, has restated its commitment to the ongoing strike action by the union.

The branch of the union of unilag debunked what it described as fake news that purportedly stated that its branch had suspended the strike.

A statement issued on Tuesday by the Chairman of the branch, Dele Ashiru, titled, ‘RE: PURPORTED SUSPENSION OF STRIKE BY ASUU-UNILAG,’ read in part, “The attention of the ASUU-UNILAG has been drawn to a fake and dubious news purporting that ‘ASUU-UNILAG chapter give-up for the first time, votes for suspension of strike.’

“This is to inform the general public that the strike in UNILAG is still in going on and there is no threat to it whatsoever.

“ASUU-UNILAG is said that the strike action is a just and patriotic struggle to save the public university system in Nigeria from imminent collapse.”

The branch reensured its members that their cause was a just cause, saying, “our members should be rest assured that just as darkness cannot overshadow light, evil can never triumph over good. Our cause is just. the more struggle! the more win!”

The Donpinlins Global Resources reports that ASUU had on Monday further declared an indefinite and hard strike action after its National Executive Meeting.

ASUU had started strike since February 14, 2022, rendering all academic activities in public universities paralysed over what it described as the failure of the Federal Government to meet its demands, which included revitalisation of the university system, issues of payment system, and welfare of lectures among others.
