ASUU Threatens Nationwide Strikes Over Tax Reform Bill Impact on Universities

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has announced plans to go on nationwide strike if a proposed tax reform bill is implemented, targeting tertiary education institutions. The union will take action in response to provisions within the bill.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has announced that it will go on strike if a recently proposed tax reform bill is implemented for tertiary education institutions across the country. The union views the provisions within the bill as unfair and detrimental to their members, who are also taxpayers. The nationwide strike, which would impact universities and other educational institutions, is expected to have far-reaching consequences for students, researchers, and the overall academic landscape. ASUU's decision to take action reflects a deep concern over what it perceives as an attempt to unfairly burden its members with added financial responsibilities.
