THE Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has extended its over five-month-old rollover strike by another four weeks.
The rollover strike is with effect from 12.01am on Monday, August 1, 2022.
President of ASUU, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, who announced this in a statement on Monday in Abuja, said the one month extension would give the Federal Government ample time to satisfactorily resolve all the outstanding issues.
He noted that the decision was arrived at an emergency National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of ASUU to review developments since NEC’s resolution to extend its rollover strike by another 12 weeks with effect from May 2022.
This is the third time ASUU has extended the rollover strike since it embarked on a four-week warning strike on February 14.
On March 14, the union extended the industrial action by another two months to allow the government meets all of its demands.
On May 9, ASUU extended its rollover strike by another three months over the failure of the Federal Government to implement agreements reached with the union
