NLC to commence three-day warning strike in solidarity with ASUU, others

“This is in solidarity with our affiliates in the universities and with Nigerian students, whose future and wellbeing are being jeopardised,’’ it stated.

According to the CWC, the protest was held to call the government’s attention to the inherent disaster in the society’s increasing culture of social apartheid, which has resulted in kids from low-income families being locked out of academics for lengthy periods of time.

It further stated that NLC affiliates would publish public statements criticizing the sporadic strikes in Nigeria’s colleges.

According to the union, the present strike, which has lasted nearly two months, is concerning.

The CWC also called the current state of instability “very unacceptable,” and urged the government to contain the cancer before it engulfed the entire country.

It urged for an all-out battle to be declared against terrorists and their backers, especially those who diverted monies intended to fight insurgency.

The ASUU had been on a nationwide industrial action since February 14 over the lack of implementation of agreements on the part of the Federal Government which had led to the crippling of academic activities in public tertiary institutions.
