The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has not Called Off its 2022 Three-Month Warning STRIKE yet.
This means that ASUU strike has not been called off yet.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) declared a one-month warning strike on February 14, 2022 which the union said was rolled over from its suspended action last year.
The union has rolled over its ongoing strike for another 12 weeks since the Federal Government has failed to meet the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
ASUU said it took this decision after its National Executive Council meeting which started on Sunday night at the Comrade Festus Iyayi National Secretariat, University of Abuja.
This decision according to the ASUU President will give the Federal Government enough time to resolve all the outstanding issues and meets their demands once and for all.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has further extended its ongoing strike by another 12 weeks.
The decision was taken at an emergency National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held at ASUU national secretariat in Abuja.
The extension of the industrial action by three months followed the expiration of its additional two-month warning strike on Monday.
ASUU National President, Emmanuel Osodeke, confirmed the development when he featured on Raypower FM’s programme, ‘Political Platform’, monitored by our correspondent in Abuja.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has extended the ongoing strike by another 3 months.

ASUU has consistently condemned what it described as the failure of the government to meet its demands.
According to the union, the basic requirement for the suspension of the industrial action will be the replacement of the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) with the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) for the payment of its members salaries and other entitlements.
The union also added that the implementation of the agreement already concluded with the Munzali Jibril-led renegotiation Committee should be implemented without delay.
But the government has said it would not approve UTAS until all identified loopholes are fixed.
The government also said the renegotiated referenced agreement by ASUU was not signed by any of the two parties, and set up another renegotiation committee under the leadership of Nimi Briggs, a professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and a former vice-chancellor.
But ASUU has declined to meet with the Mr Briggs-led committee.
