Federal Government gives ASUU 1 week ultimatum to call off strike

During a press briefing in Abuja this morning,
the acting Minister of Education, Nyesom
Wike told journalist that the Federal
Government has given the Academic Staff
Union of Universities (ASUU) one week
ultimatum to call off the ongoing strike.
Or else what? ASUU execs and President
Jonathan were supposed to meet this week
but the meeting is yet to hold. The ASUU
strike began July 1, almost 5 months later, no
resolution in sight. Sad!
The FG also said any Academic staff who fails
to resume on or before December 4th
automatically ceases to be a staff of the
institution. Pro-chancellors of the various
universities and the National Universities
Commissions (NUC) have been directed to
ensure compliance of this directive.
