The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has enjoined
Nigerians to prevail on the federal government to honour its agreement with the
union.
ASUU Chairman, University of Ibadan, Professor Ayo Akinwole
made the call while addressing journalists on Tuesday.
Akinwole speaking shortly after a congress of the union in
Ibadan, appealed to Nigerians to prevail on the present administration led by
President Muhammadu Buhari to implement the agreements reached with ASUU in
2009.
Flanked by other executive members of the union, Akinwole
said it was now evident that the present administration was paying lip service
to education at the detriment of children of the poor.
The ASUU chairman explained that there will be no need for a
strike if the government has been faithful.
He said the union only wants the government to be faithful.
“We wish to inform you of the antics of the federal
government. The government has not been fulfilling agreements since 2009.
“The government has been foot-dragging. The government is
yet to fulfil its agreements.
“We are now telling the public that the government is
playing with a time bomb.
“We are now calling on the people to prevail on the Nigerian
government to honour agreements with ASUU.
“If the government fulfils its agreements, there will be no
need for a strike.
“What we are saying is that the government should be
faithful”.
