The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has taken a bold step at Sa’adu Zungur University (SAZU) in Bauchi, declaring an indefinite strike.
This drastic measure is aimed at pushing the university’s management to address the union’s long-standing demands for improved services.
Following an emergency congress held in Yuli, ASUU’s SAZU branch chairperson, Hussain Nuhu, addressed the press. He explained that the union had used all available channels to resolve the issues, but to no avail.
Nuhu stated, “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.”
The strike, which commenced on Friday, November 29, 2024, at 12:00 pm, brings all academic activities to a halt.
As Nuhu emphasized, “The strike action has to commenced immediately. 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.”
