The Academic Staff Union of Universities, popularly known as ASUU said on Monday that it would commence a warning strike come 2nd of October, 2016.

A statement signed by Mr Ben Ugheoke, the Chairman, University of Abuja chapter of ASUU, stated that the Federal Government had failed to embark on meaningful dialogue with the union.

“We have tried to dialogue with the Federal Government but they have been playing games with us; we will start with a warning strike to show them we are not jokers.

“ASUU has being trying to get the attention of the Federal Government to intervene in the academic system of universities across Nigeria but it has all been abortive.

“Consequently, ASUU will give a warning strike which will start on Oct. 2nd.

“The strike will last for one week, and if they do not give us listening ears we will start the indefinite strike come November 2016” The Chairman concluded.
