2 ASUU STRIKE
Before then, What Is This ASUU?

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) was founded in 1978.
ASUU and the Federal Government of Nigeria are always in conflict over funding of the Nigerian Universities, better working conditions among others.
And each time the two parties call for a meeting to settle their disagreements, it usually ended with the government promising the union that the demands would be met soon.
