Update: ASUP Strike not Called off yet as meeting Continues today 25th June, 2013

ASUP Strike Update:
Speaking with journalists after about four hours
meeting between the union and the government
negotiating team, said ASUP members were not
in a hurry to call off the strike.
Awuzie added that the union would meet again
on Tuesday with the government. He said, “We
have had deliberations. We have looked at the
issues. We have made some progress. We are
likely to continue very early tomorrow morning. If
we fought there, you would not see us smiling.
“All of us are patriots. We are talking about one
thing: The good of educational system in
Nigeria. There are no adverse roles in this
struggle. There are no winners, there are no
losers. “We all appreciate the decay and the rot
in the system. And we think that, that is a very
important sector of our national life which has to
be propelled.”
Asked when the strike would be called off,
Awuzie simply said,
“It’s not over.”
He however expressed optimism that all grey
areas in the agreement would be “resolved very
soon.”
Minister of Education, Prof. Ruqqayattu Rufai,
debunked media reports that she had promised
an end to the strike on Monday. She however
reiterated the fact that the strike might soon be
called off going by the extent of deliberations
between the two parties. Rufai said, “Based on
what we have done so far, the strike may be
called off.
“Today as you have seen, we have met. We have
made progress and of course we are still talking.
Even tomorrow at 10am, we have another
meeting with ASUU. So, we are making progress.”
Labour and Productivity Minister, Chief Emeka
Wogu, also expressed optimism that the ongoing
negotiations would end with more concrete
resolutions.
He said: “We are working seriously to make sure
that we resolve the issues that have arisen from
the strike. We have made progress. We believe
that at the end of full discussions on this strike,
we will come to a conclusion that will be more
lasting than the previous ones.
Summary.
At this juncture we can confirm that the ASUP
indefinite strike is still very effective after the
first day of the NEC meeting yesterday.
Although the meeting would continue today till
friday but the possibility of suspending the
strike is very slim.
This is owing to the fact that after series of
negotiation with government representatives
they have done nothing towards implementing
even more than 2% of the ASUP demands.
ASUP, according to our source believe giving in
at this point in time would mean the over 9
week strike was a waste.
The strike has not been called of yet, and the
meeting still continues today. we will let you
know the outcome.
