The Academic Staff Union of Universities has commenced an indefinite nationwide industrial action.
The National President of the union, Dr. Biodun Ogunyemi, announced this on Monday during a meeting of the National Executive Council of ASUU in Abuja.
ASUU had earlier asked all its branches in the various universities to conduct referendum of members to decide whether a nationwide strike should be held over its demands or not.
In a memo dated August 12 2017, ASUU officially declared a nationwide indefinite strike which will effectively suspend academic activities across universities in the country.
According to a statement signed by Ogunyemi, the union resolved to embark on a total, comprehensive and indefinite nationwide strike action which will commence with immediate effect.
