Strike: Tension as ASUU NEC meets 4pm
The National Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of Universities will commence its meeting by 4pm Today.
The NEC is the highest decision-making body of ASUU.
ASUU had last week directed its zones and branches to organise congresses following the deadlocked meeting between the union and representatives of the Federal Government.
Some students who spoke to our correspondent expressed fears at the possibility of an indefinite strike.
A student of the University of Ilorin, Tajudeen Sanusi said, “I don’t even want to think about it. I am scared and the idea of an indefinite strike doesn’t speak well to me at all. I am still optimistic though”
Another student at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Ifeoma Orji, said, “The past six to seven months have been depressing enough for me. I don’t even know what to do at the moment. I am in my final year, the thought of an indefinite strike alone is killing me. We are still hoping that the federal government and ASUU will find a common ground.”
