Title: ASUU Threatens Nationwide Strike Over Non- Implementation Of FG/ASUU Agreement
Post by: JEFFREY96 on August 31, 2016, 01:53:58 pm
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU)
has threatened to embark on a nationwide strike
if the Federal Government refuses to implement
the 2009 agreement.
This was disclosed by the ASUU Lagos Zone
Coordinator, Prof. Olusoji Sowande.
According to him the union have decided on to this path since all efforts to get
the federal government to implement the agreement has proved abortive.
He mentioned that embarking on a strike action is not a favorable choice as it is
the students and lecturers that bear the brunt of it more, but it seems that is the
only language that the Nigerian government seems to respect and listen to.
He recalled a meeting the union had with the Minister of Education, Malam
Adamu Adamu over the issue during which the minister promised that the issue
will be resolved within 2 weeks but up till now nothing has been done.
He urged well meaning Nigerians and stake holders to prevail on the Government
to implement the agreement to avoid the impending crisis that is about to bedevil
the nation's university system.
