ASUU under fire for ‘thinking of another strike’

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) says it is “thinking of” embarking on another strike.

The union said this via its official Twitter handle, in reply to a question.

It had called of its three-month strike in February after reaching an agreement with the federal government over issues bothering on staff welfare among others.

“Thinking of going on another 3 months strike action,” it wrote.

It is not yet clear if the union was joking but the tweet did not go down well with many Nigerians.

While some said the post was “useless”, others used some unprintable words while attacking the union.

Below are some of the reactions to the tweets:

What if Thunder strikes ASUU before they strike 🤔?

Dear ASUU, is there no other way to manipulating FG to adhere to your demands than going on strike ? This incessant strike is having effect on the students.
Honestly you are there for your interests only.Find another way to get your demand not strike all time

Why suspend the strike when your demands are not yet met. You guys are one of the major reasons we have problem in this Nation.

Why jeopardise the minds of these kids? We're already tired of the educational system, if you like strike like Lukaku or Morata, it's your problem 😏😏
