Ahead of today’s meeting with the Federal Government, President of
the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Dr. Nasir Fagge, has
declared that the union will not back down on the ongoing strike if a
compromise is not reached.
Dr. Fagge who made this disclosure to NE
via a telephone chat this morning, maintained that the strike action
was not embarked upon just for the demands, but for the Federal
Government to honour a Memorandum of Understanding which it signed in
2012 with ASUU.
He said: “Who’s talking about demands here? We
presented our demands in 2006 and it took us three years to get it into
an agreement.
“The Federal Government signed an MOU in 2012,
that’s what we are asking them to honour, period. The strike action will
not continue only if they implement the MOU we had last year.”
Dr.
Fagge further disclosed that “If we call off the strike when the MOU
has not been implemented, of what use was the strike action in the first
place? We are holding on until everything is sorted out.”
The
industrial action by the lecturers will be forty-nine days old if ASUU
does not reach an agreement with the Federal Government at the meeting
scheduled to hold later today.

Strike action does not cover up your nefarous activities of sorting, sexual assault, handout recycling, laziness etc. Using Asuu as a political tool is becoming old fashion.
