Nigerians have taken to social media to react to the end of the 9- month long ASUU strike.
Recall, that the Academic Staff Union of Universities- ASUU first began with two weeks warning strike on the 9th of March, 2020 following disagreements with the Federal Government over its failure to meet previous agreements between both parties.
- FG declares holidays for Christmas, New Year celebrations
- Man, 71, seeks dissolution of marriage over sex denial
Unable to resolve their differences with the Federal Government, ASUU went on to embark on an indefinite strike on the 23rd of March, 2020.
The union then called off the strike on Wednesday, the 23rd of December, 2020, exactly nine months after.
In reaction to the recent developments, Nigerians took to their social media handles to express themselves.
Some expressed relief, others hoped the Federal Government would keep its part of the bargain this time to ensure an end to ASUU strikes, while others decided to view the development from an entirely different perspective.
A large number of social media users have chosen to credit the strike end to Tacha, a Nigerian celebrity who attained fame after being disqualified during the 2019 Big Brother Naija show.
Tacha, whose birthday is today, (Wednesday) is being praised for ‘rubbing the goodness of her birth on the nation.’
