The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has insisted that its members would embark on strike after the expiration of the 21-day ultimatum issued to the Federal Government.
The President of ASUU, Emmanuel Osodeke, made the comment while addressing journalists yesterday at Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, yesterday.
He said the union is embarking on the strike due to issues such as “emergency revitalisation fund of public universities; payment of outstanding earned academic allowances; and release of withheld salaries, promotion arrears, and third-party deductions of our members.”
