Category: Education News


The Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) has given the Nigerian government a 21-day ultimatum to address the union’s demands, else it will embark on industrial action.

This is contained in a statement signed by the union’s president and the general secretary, Smart Olugbeko and Ahmed Bazza, respectively, and made available to journalists in Abuja, Nigeria’ federal capital territory (FCT).

The statement, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), revealed that after extensive deliberation, the national executive council (NEC) of the union agreed on the ultimatum, beginning on May 9.

It said that the NEC further resolved that in the event that the government fails to do the needful within the period of the ultimatum, the union would declare appropriate industrial action.

It, therefore, called on well-meaning Nigerians and concerned parties in the tertiary education sector, to prevail on the government to urgently take appropriate actions before the ultimatum lapses.
