The Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) has said that the offer from the Federal Government towards
resolving the demands of ASUU as contained in the 2017 Memorandum of Action
(MoA) is still fluid and far from expectations.
ASUU, in Strike Bulletin 8 signed
by its President, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, on Thursday in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, asked its members to
await rapidly unfolding developments from the strike.
As a union, ASUU said that it
will not participate in the conduct of 2019 elections but its members may
voluntarily participate.
Ogunyemi, in the bulletin, said
the proposal from government towards resolving the demands of ASUU as contained
in the 2017 MoA is still fluid and far from expectations.
He said, “Though some progress
has been made with respect to discussion with Government agents (The Minister
of Labour and Employment as well as Minister of Education), at the moment, the
proposal from Government towards resolving the demand of ASUU as contained in
2017 MoA and Strike Bulletin 1 is still too fluid and far from expectations.
“Hence, it is the view of the
NSCC that members should await further developments which are rapidly
unfolding.
“In accordance with the ASUU’s
long standing position, ASUU as a union will not participate in the conduct of
2019 general elections, although members may voluntarily participate in the
conduct of the elections.
“However, members are prohibited
from participating in the election processes using any material that bears ASUU
or relates to the union.”
