ASUU Strike
A frontline Nigerian rights activist,
Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, is set to
go on a hunger strike, next week

contribution towards ending industrial
action by the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU), which has crippled
the country’s public universities since
July 1.
Writing on his Facebook wall, Onwubiko,
National Coordinator of the Abuja-based
Human Rights Writers’ Association of
Nigeria (HURIWA), said: “Watch out: I will
announce the date for commencement
of a two-day hunger strike in support of
ending ASUU strike, reopening public
universities and adequately funding them
and for lecturers engaging in sex-for-
marks to be identified and prosecuted by
ICPC/and/or EFCC.
When the date is disclosed, I will solicit
your support and prayers.” Contacted
this morning, Onwubiko, who is also a
Columnist with News Express, said that
there is no going back on the hunger
strike. He disclosed that it would hold
“next week Tuesday/Wednesday,”
adding: “I will issue a press release
today.”
