BREAKING NEWS: ASUU Leadership Says No Warning Strike, Punch Newspaper Lied

Few hours after an insider told us that classes will hold today in UNILAG, unless a disruption takes place, ASUU UNILAG has come up with a statement to confirm our suspicion.

Yesterday, a lot of media brands and news blogs released a news that there was a warning strike, but we did not release an official statement because we were not able to confirm it. At UNILAGUPDATES, we will only share credible updates.

Mr. Dele Ashiru, Chairman of ASUU UNILAG chapter released a statement few minutes ago:

The leadership of the branch has been inundated with calls and messages seeking clarifications on the Punch newspaper purported declaration of a national lecture free day today by our great Union. For the avoidance of doubt, this is a clear case of misinformation.

At the last NEC meeting of our Union, all branches were directed to observe a day of mobilization and sensitization of members, students and the general public to the impending strike action over government insensitive and unwillingness to implement the renegotiated 2009 ASUU-FGN Agreement which will usher in a new and robust salary structure for our members. As you are already aware, tomorrow 8th February, 2022, has been declared as Unilag's day of mobilization and sensitization in compliance with the directive of NEC.

In view of the above, there shall be no lectures, meetings, seminars, workshops, etc, during the period of the mobilization and sensitization Congress between 11am and 2pm. Members are therefore enjoined to attend the Congress enmasse as a show of support and solidarity for the new salary and welfare structure.

Summary:

Today (Monday February 7th is nor lecture-free. The only thing is that classes might not hold TOMORROW between 11am and 2am, because of ASUU sensitization).
