The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has extended its ongoing strike by another two months (8 weeks).

A source said this decision was made by the union decision at a meeting of the National Executive Council (NEC) which started on Sunday and ended early Monday morning.

The meeting held at the union’s national secretariat at the University of Abuja.

IkejaBird gathered that a statement would be released by the union to that effect.

A member of the union who craved anonymity said: “Yes, we have extended the strike by eight weeks pending when the Nigerian government would find the university system worthy of the desired attention. A statement is currently being drafted to that effect. We will make it available soon.”
