ASUU Declares Indefinite Strike In Bauchi University

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at Sa’adu Zungur University (SAZU), Bauchi, has announced an indefinite strike to demand better working conditions from the university management.

Speaking to journalists after an emergency congress held at the university’s Yuli campus, the ASUU branch chairperson, Comrade Awwal Hussain Nuhu, stated that all efforts to engage the university administration and the government had failed.

Nuhu explained that despite numerous attempts to address their concerns, the university’s leadership and the government showed no willingness to resolve the issues.

He further directed all ASUU members at SAZU to halt all academic activities, emphasizing that the strike would continue until their demands are addressed.

Nuhu said, “Therefore, a member of the union moved for a motion for the branch to embark on a total, comprehensive and indefinite strike action which was seconded by another member.

“Consequently, the congress passed a resolution for the branch to embark on comprehensive and indefinite strike action until further notice.

“The strike action has to commenced immediately at 12:00pm on Friday the 29th of November 2024. With this, all members of ASUU in SAZU are directed to comply as no academic activity of whatever form or meetings will take place while it lasted.

“Members are directed to embark on a total, comprehensive and indefinite strike action until further notice.

“This implies that activities such as teaching, marking, meetings, accreditation and any other activities related to academic staff are suspended indefinitely.”

KanyiDaily recalls that ASUU had given the President Bola Tinubu-led Government a 14-day ultimatum to address unresolved issues dating back to 2009.
