The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at Sa’adu Zungur University (SAZU) in Bauchi State has begun an indefinite strike.
The decision follows numerous failed attempts to negotiate improved working conditions with the university administration.
ASUU SAZU branch chair, Comrade Awwal Hussain Nuhu, announced the strike after an emergency congress at the Yuli, Bauchi Campus.
The congress expressed frustration at the administration’s unwillingness to address their concerns.
Nuhu said: “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.
“Consequently, the congress passed a resolution for the branch to embark on comprehensive and indefinite strike action until further notice.
“The strike action has to commenced immediately at 12:00pm on Friday the 29th of November 2024. 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.
“Members are directed to embark on a total, comprehensive and indefinite strike action until further notice. This implies that activities such as teaching, marking, meetings, accreditation and any other activities related to academic staff are suspended indefinitely.”
