The Academic Staff Union of Universities are set to announce an indefinite strike action - ASUU which tasked its local branches to conduct referendum among members on whether or not to proceed on an indefinite strike has adopted the overwhelming position of the branches - Poor funding of universities, part-payment of salaries of lecturers and the kidnap of two lecturers of the University of Maiduguri by the Boko Haram are among major reasons for the strike action Nigerian students are set for a lengthy stay at home as the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has resolved to embark on an indefinite strike action. The lecturers decided to go on strike after an extensive deliberation at its meeting held at the University of Abuja on Friday. Consequently, the union has directed all members against going to teach or involving themselves in any academic activity, Premium Times reports. According to a statement signed by Biodun Ogunyemi, ASUU President, the union explored all means of negotiation before the decision to embark on an indefinite strike action was reached.

The statement is expected to be made public at a press conference in Abuja on Monday morning, the news-outlet revealed. Reports also have it that ASUU had earlier tasked its branches to conduct a referendum among members on whether or not an indefinite strike should be called. The position of the local branches on whether to proceed on a strike action was reviewed in the Abuja meeting which ended in the early hours of today, Monday August 14. The overwhelming position of the local branches was consequently adopted. Poor funding of universities, part-payment of salaries of lecturers and the kidnap of two lecturers of the University of Maiduguri by the Boko Haram are among major reasons for the strike action.

NAIJ.com had earlier reported that the federal government had been unable to honour its part of the agreement signed with Academic Union of University (ASUU) in 2009. As a result of this, the union had started the process that may lead to a nationwide strike. NAIJ.com also reported that ASUU had started collation of signatures of members through referendum which would determine the type of strike in terms of time to embark on it.
