ASUU decries FG’s silence on agreement’s implementation, hints at strike

It stated: “The NLC has declared an indefinite strike action beginning from Monday, 3rd June, 2024, as a result of the failure of Government to conclude the renegotiation of minimum wage for Nigerian workers and reversal of hike in electricity tariff.

“Consequently, branch chairpersons are to mobilise all members to participate in the strike action. Yours in the struggle.”
