THE Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has constituted a seven-man committee to defend the union’s position and refusal to suspend the ongoing strike that is getting to seven months.

The committee is expected to respond to any criticisms in the media against the alleged adamant posture of the university teachers to suspend the strike.

Recall that academic activities in Nigeria’s public universities have been suspended since February 14, 2022, ASUU declared one month warning strike and has been rolling it over up till date.

Following the alleged negative reactions from the public and the bashing ASUU is receiving for not suspending the strike, the union has contituted a seven member committee to respond to any perceived attack on irs position.

The National President of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osadeke ha written to Prof. Ade Adejumo of the Lagos State University of Technology, LAUTEC, who is the Convener to counter any media report that may be against the interest of the union.

The letter dated 1st September with the title, “Constitution of Rapid Response Committee”, told members that their commitment towards the execution of the assignment would be appreciated.
