The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, on
Wednesday, gave government condition for its members to resume their duties.
ASUU President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi said lecturers would
return to classes when government provide conducive teaching environment in
line with COVID-19 protocols.
Ogunyemi disclosed this while fielding questions from
journalists in Abuja, after calling off the nine months strike.
Representatives of both ASUU and federal government had met
to strengthen out agreements reached.
However, Ogunyemi said: “We usually said we did not close
the universities, government remains the owner of the universities, be it state
or federal.
“As far as we are concerned, we are ready to resume classes.
But government should make the environment conducive for us to work within the
context of the emerging trend of COVID-19.
“So, we can’t tell government not to open but we have the
right to insist that the COVID-19 protocols should be observed and the
requirements for observing the protocols should be met.”
