Starting around 1999, college teachers having a place with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) have been protesting for a sum of 1,404 days.
Starting from the start of this vote based regulation in 1999, the Academic Staff Union of Universities, otherwise called ASUU, has protested for a consolidated complete of 1,404 days in that time span.
This figure shows that college teachers have utilized a three-year and ten-month blacklist of homerooms to press their requests on the bureaucratic and state legislatures.
ASUU, an umbrella group of showing staff at administrative and state government-claimed colleges in Nigeria, has been protesting since February 14, 2022, to request better working circumstances and pay.
The requests of the striking instructors incorporate subsidizing for state funded college renewal, Earned Academic Allowances, University Transparency Accountability Solution (UTAS), and advancement unfulfilled obligations.
Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, President of ASUU, condemned the national government for the strike and its emotionless disposition toward tertiary schooling in a meeting with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, in Abuja.
275 days in 2020
Statisense, an organization that gives information counseling administrations, answered the threat on its Twitter account on Tuesday by uncovering that teachers have used a sum of 1,404 days to air their dissatisfactions through strikes, with 275 days in 2020 being the longest stretch.
Statisense made a reference to Monogbe, B.O and Monogbe, T.G, the creators of “ASUU Strike and Nigerian Educational System: An Empirical Investigation of the Nigerian Tertiary Institution,” as it uncovered the figures.
In 1999 and 2001, the ASUU strike endured 90 days each, coming full circle in a 180-day strike, and it was another straight 180-day strike in 2003.
Teachers boycotted study halls for an additional 90 days in 2007. The following strike endured 120 days in 2009 and 180 days in both 2010 and 2011.
Because of a strike, there were no talks for 165 days in 2013, and another happened in 2018, enduring 94 days. The most recent strike is as yet happening following 120 days.
This week, it was accounted for by Vanguard that the initiative of ASUU had turned down a crowdfunding stage that had been laid out to stop the strike that is presently being organized by scholastics at state funded colleges in the country.
The notable donor and owner of Human Rights Radio, Ahmed Isah, sent off a stage for publicly supporting gifts fully intent on gathering assets for the teachers’ association with expectations of stopping the strike that has placed scholarly exercises in the country’s state funded colleges in danger.
Isah had welcomed ASUU President Osodeke to his station to illuminate them regarding his endeavors to determine the well established emergency among ASUU and the national government, however Osodeke straight declined.
