Professor Emmanuel Osodeke also dismissed claims by Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu that all contentious issues with the union aside that of salary payment have been resolved and accused him of deliberately misleading the public for political gains. Professor Emmanuel Osodeke in a statement said:
"In view of the foregoing, and following extensive deliberations on Government’s response to the resolution of 14th February, 2022 so far, NEC concluded that the demands of the Union had not been satisfactorily addressed.
Consequently, NEC resolved to transmute the roll-over strike to a comprehensive, total and indefinite strike action beginning from 12.01a.m. on Monday, 29th August, 2022. ”
