Credible sources, who were part of the NEC meeting, told our correspondent that the plan to embark on a fresh strike was as a result of many unfulfilled promises by the federal government.
One of the officials added that they gave the notice in order to satisfy the requirements of the Trade Dispute Act.
He said one of their grouses was that, despite the President’s pronouncement that university lecturers be removed from IPPIS, the platform was still being used for their salaries’ payment.
“You and I know that there are many unresolved issues on the ground. We won’t hesitate to embark on another strike if our demands are not met.
“Our demands are very clear, but the government thinks they are smart and play on our intelligence,” the university lecturer said.
Another official confided in our correspondent that the “letter of notice” will reach the Federal Ministries of Education and Labour on Tuesday unfailingly.
Both the President of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke and the spokesperson of the Labour ministry, Mrs Patience Onuobia could not be reached for confirmation.
Several phone calls to the ASUU President were not answered, and he was yet to reply to a text message sent to him as at when filing this report Monday night.
Also, phone calls to the mobile phone of Mrs Onuobia, did not connect, and there was no reply to a text message sent to her as at when filing this report.
