ASUU executive council holds all-night meeting over strike


The meeting of the National Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of Universities will hold overnight in Abuja, The PUNCH has reliably learnt.

The meeting which is a meeting of the leadership of the union was convened to allow the leadership of the union take the final decision on the protracted strike.

Speaking with our correspondent in Abuja, a top source said, “We will have a meeting today and it will last overnight so that we will be given enough time to deliberate and make a conclusion.”

When asked if the union will call off the strike, the source declined comments.

The PUNCH reports that ASUU had on Monday, February 14,2022 declared a strike at the University of Lagos. The union had accused the Federal Government of failing to honour some of the agreements reached.

ASUU had demanded for the renegotiation of the ASUU-FG 2009 agreement, release of revitalisation fund for universities, release of earned academic allowances among others.


The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, dragged the striking lecturers to court over what he tagged as “irreconcilable differences.”

7 Songs About Queen Elizabeth II (And What Each Artist Said About Her)

Queen Elizabeth II photographed at Sandringham House. Bettmann Archive When Queen Elizabeth II  died  at age 96 on Thursday (Sept. 8), she left behind a substantial legacy in terms of politics, culture and media. But if you rule a country for 70 years, you’re never going to make everyone happy, and while she was certainly beloved by millions, she inspired her fair share of critics and detractors, too. That much is clear just by looking at the music inspired by the long-running ruler of the royal family. For every positive or neutral tune about the Queen (such as the Beatles’ quickie “Her Majesty,” where Paul McCartney sings, “Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl but she doesn’t have a lot to say”), there’s a sneering “God Save the Queen” from Sex Pistols or a hostile “The Queen Is Dead” by the Smiths (both all-time rock classics). Primal Scream’s “Insect Royalty” is, unsurprisingly, not terribly flattering; The Stone Roses’ “Elizabeth My Dear” may sound mor...
