The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has mobilized its members to join the the nationwide strike and mass action scheduled for Wednesday to force the government to reverse the recent hike in price of fuel.
The instruction, given by the National President of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, was contained in a letter sent to members of the congress nationwide.
ASUU president in the letter entitled ‘Increase in Pump price of Premium Motor Spirit to N145 perlitre: Proposal for Joint Action with NLC’ states
“Our Union and members shall work for the protection and advancement of the socio-economic interests of the nation. Branch Chairpersons are to conduct emergency congress meetings on Tuesday 17 May 2016 to mobilise our members for the action commencing on Wednesday. All branches of ASUU nationwide are to comply”
Ogunyemi anchored the position on “delayed, partially paid and in most cases unpaid salaries for a number of months by state, federal and local governments, disguised retrenchment of workers, especially by State Governments, in the name of verification exercise and endless hunt for ghost workers and heavy taxation”.
