The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has directed its members across the country to begin an indefinite industrial action.
ASUU gave the order today after a meeting of the leaders of the union.
The meeting was held at the Federal University of Technology, Akure, the Ondo State capital.
The National President of ASUU, Professor Abiodun Ogunyemi, told reporters that the union took the decision due to the poor funding of universities in the country.
Ogunyemi, therefore directed all members of the union across various universities to withdraw their services.
He said the industrial action would be total and indefinite.
