Academic Staff Union of Universities

Over the years, the society has more or less accepted the arbitrary interruption of academic calendar in federal universities through lecturers' strike ...

As a check, Section 6 provides for reporting of dispute if not amicably settled after seven days to the Minister by either of the parties in writing within three days at the end of the seven days for a further specific action. Hamman of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) on 21st day of September, 2022 in a suit between FGN/Minister of Education v Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) affirmed that “the amount of damages caused to the education sector in the nation and students in public universities as a result of the strike action is irreparable, and compensation cannot adequately address the loss”. In Section 3, an obligation to deposit collective agreements with the Minister of Labour is provided. Naturally, there are bound to be conflicts wherever persons or institutions co-exist, and that’s the reason the laws are in place to regulate operations. NYSC only looks at date-of-birth, and it is a desire of all young students to participate in the scheme. In fact, it is rare to find a student that completed a university degree through a federal university on schedule without strikes which has continued to affect the victims in many ways.
