Members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), have said they may be forced to embark on a nationwide strike, over what they described as dissatisfaction with the way their demands are being handled by the states and federal government.

A statement signed by the president of AS, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, said the decision was reached after a meeting of its national executive council, as so far, no meaningful efforts by governments have been made to address their demands in the last ten years.

Some of the demands he listed include, the sanctity of legally constituted Governing Councils, review of the 2009 federal government and ASUU agreement, revitalisation fund for public universities, payment of all earned academic allowances, including withheld salaries, and promotion arrears.

Osodeke, however, added that the union will reconvene after two weeks, beginning on Saturday, to review the situation and take decisive action to address the issues.
