The University of Lagos chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU-UNILAG) has issued a stern warning of a potential strike if the Nigerian government fails to address its longstanding grievances, following nationwide protests.
“We are sensitising the public to prevail on the government so that we don’t go on strike. If nothing significant comes out after all these protests, we will decide to go on strike at our next NEC meeting,” said Prof. Kayode Adebayo, Chairman of ASUU-UNILAG, during a protest on Thursday in Lagos.
The protests, which have been ongoing for weeks, highlight ASUU’s frustration over unmet promises from the government.
