The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has proceeded with its nationwide industrial action.
This came after the union failed to reach a common ground with the Nigerian Government.
NATIONAL POST reports that there have been a series of discussions within the past two days aimed at stopping the planned strike.
However, ASUU President, Chris Piwuna announced on Sunday that the strike has commenced.
He said the two-week warning strike is a window for the government to conclude negotiations with the body.
The ASUU President disclosed this during a press conference at ASUU Headquarters at the UniAbuja.
Piwuna charged members of the body across Nigeria to withdraw their services effective midnight.
He accused the government of insincerity in the negotiations, leading to the implementation of the union’s demands.
