The National Executive Council of the Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union has begun a one-month strike, effective Tuesday 14th of June.
The strike action was disclosed to newsmen in a communique signed by COEASU President, Dr Smart Olugbeko and General Secretary, Dr. Ahmed Bazza Lawan.
The union, like other tertiary institution-based unions, had requested that the federal government attend to lingering demands.
The statement read in part, “The total strike action suspended by the Union in December 2018 will be resumed immediately for four weeks in the first instance.
NEC shall reconvene after the four weeks of strike action to re-assess the level of the Government’s commitment on the issues for an appropriate decision on the way forward thenceforth.
Every Chapter Congress across the federation should convene on Tuesday, June 14, 2022, to adequately inform the Congress of the commencement of the strike action due to the festering issues and the status of inaction leading to the industrial action.
