ASUU STRIKE UPDATE: Two-Day Fasting & Prayer - UI Chapter of ASUU 'Take It To The Lord In Prayer'

After 5 months of failed rigorous and exhaustive negotiations with the Federal Government, the University of Ibadan, UI, chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, on Tuesday, decided to 'take it to the Lord in prayer' as they declared a two-day fasting and prayer for a divine intervention in their five-month old tussle with government.

According to the Branch Chairman of the Union, Olusegun Ajiboye, there was need for God's divine intervention and visitation in the ongoing strike. 
He listed three specific prayer points: “The need for God to touch the heart of the Federal Government to be committed towards funding public education and develop the nation; that God should protect the leadership of ASUU as they travel; and that the purpose of the strike is actualized by placing universities in the league of world class institutions.”
