The National Union of University Employees (NUEE) has directed its members to embark on a nationwide strike on Wednesday.
The Ag. General Secretary of the Union, Dominic Igwebike, in a memo issued on Sunday to its members said the action became imperative due to sudden removal of fuel subsidy by the federal government.
It said: “Sequel to the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Emergency National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held on June 2, 2023 at the Labour house Abuja, over the sudden removal of fuel subsidy which has brought untold hardship to Nigerians as well as increased inflation in the economy, that NLC has directed that nationwide withdrawal of Services action will commence on Wednesday, June 7, 2023.
“To this effect, all National, State and Chapter executives are requested to start mobilisation of our members in total compliance of this directive.”
The union noted that withdrawal of Services nationwide commences from 0.00 hours of Wednesday, June 7, 2023.
It further urged members to work with the leadership of State Executive Councils (SEC) of the Congress in their various states with a view to having a successful action.
