Legit.ng earlier reported that President Muhammadu Buhari has called on ASUU and other trade unions to shun going on strike to press home their demands.

The Nigerian leader lamented that all the academic unions went on strike in 2022 and the situation negatively affected the economy and disrupted the academic system.
