Piwuna said the industrial action was approved by the ASUU National Executive Council.

According to him, “The NEC of ASUU has approved our request for total, indefinite and comprehensive strike starting immediately.

“It means that all activities: teaching, supervision, examination as well as statutory and ad hoc committee meetings have been suspended.”
