Covid-19: After calling off 9-month strike, ASUU says it’s unsafe to reopen varsities now

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said it has assessed COVID-19 protocols in the universities and it’s unsafe to reopen universities as government has not put measures in place to that effect.

This was said on Sunday, January 10, in reaction to the directive of the National Universities Commission that universities could resume on January 18.

According to ASUU, although its members were ready to start work, the government had not put measures in place for the safe reopening of the schools.
