The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps
(NSCDC) has declared seven days of fasting and
prayer in all its commands to seek divine
solution to the lingering strike by ASUU, which
grounded Nigerian universities since July this
year.
In a statement by his spokesman, Mr Okeh
Emmanuel, the commandant-general of the
corps, Prof. Ade Abolurin, who declared the fast,
said the decision was motivated by the corps’
desire to bring about a quick end to the
industrial action following the deadlock
between the federal government negotiating
team and the striking university teachers.
