Nigeria’s university teachers’ union has announced that it will go on strike indefinitely, putting the country’s already fragile academic system in jeopardy.
If the strike goes forward, it will be the second in two years.
The most recent strike lasted nine months, from March to December 2020.
The kids were forced to miss practically an entire academic session as a result of this.
The academics have accused the administration of failing to follow wage and conditions agreements struck between the two sides over a year ago.
The lecturers’ union’s chairman, Prof Emmanuel Osadeke, told the media that the body would convene next week to deliberate on industrial action.
Strikes by instructors at public colleges have caused many parents who can afford it to make difficult decisions. to send their children to private universities or send them abroad for education.
Public university students, on the other hand, are dissatisfied.
