ASUU Resumes Indefinite Strike
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Taraba State University chapter, today, resumed indefinite strike to press home its demands.

Dr Samuel Shikaa, the branch Chairman, and Dr Atando Agbu, the Secretary, in a statement shortly after the Executive Council Meeting with the national officials in Jalingo, said that the teachers would remain at home until the demands were met.
The union said that the law establishing the university, which specified adequate funding for the institution, had been abandoned by the state government, NAN reports.
