ASUU embarked on the current industrial action on February 14, 2022 to press the demands for the government to honour past agreements on funding of the universities and issues of welfare. 

GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that, President Muhammadu Buhari earlier on Tuesday, issued the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu a two week ultimatum to resolve issues of contention regarding the ASUU strike.

Reacting to Buhari’s order, Osodeke said the two-week ultimatum was “too long”, and that the union can suspend its strike in less than two days if the federal government honours its agreement with the union.

“Two weeks is too long. The issue of renegotiation has been completed by both sides, which means that one is gone.

“They should just come back to us and say ‘we have agreed, sign it’. That should not take two days,” Osodeke said.
