Hehe.............. The main reason behind the strike action embarked by the Academic Staff Union of Universities has been made public.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities in Nigeria, ASUU has
revealed why it embarked on a nationwide strike paralyzing academic
activities in Nigeria. ASUU said the strike became inevitable because of
the federal government’s failure to fulfill the 2009 agreement made
with the union.
Briefing journalists on Monday after an emergency meeting of its
National Executive Council held at the University of Abuja, ASUU
president, Biodun Ogunyemi, said the industrial action began Sunday,
August 13.
He said during the strike period, there will be no teaching,
examination or attendance of statutory meeting of any kind in any of
ASUU’s branches till the government meets the union’s demands.
“Issues outside Babalakin’s negotiation committee are what we
discussing. We are saying that government did not continue the
implementation of the existing issues from 2009 Federal government ASUU
agreement. Government have abandoned implementation,” he said.
Mr. Ogunyemi said the government had ignored the education system,
while the political class send their wards to private universities and
universities abroad leaving public universities in Nigeria to collapse.
