The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), after a closed door meeting Sunday, has, reportedly, extended its ongoing strike action by another two months, meaning that students may stay home longer than anticipated.
This magazine gathered that the Union was piqued by the Federal Government’s claim that the University -produced payment portal failed integrity test.
ASUU had, as part of its demands, insisted that the Government’s payment portal is cumbersome snd ineffective, and demanded Government use the one approved by them.
According to ASUU sources, the strike extension was to provide enough time for amicable settlements to avert further strikes.
