 And following the prolonged industrial action by the academic staff union of universities ASU, the Nigerian Liberal Congress, NLC and some other unions will begin a nationwide protest today despite negotiations and interventions by consent citizens. The federal government and the ASU are yet to settle their differences after nearly six months. The NLC had alerted Nigerians that July 26th and 27th would be national days of protests across the country to force the federal government and the striking lecturers to resolve their issues and suspend the lingering strike.
