ASUU: The Strike Will Continue, Even If It
Takes Years Until Our Request Is Granted

The lingering
strike actionn
embarked on by the Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU, Chairman, Kogi State
University Chapter, Sylvester Osakwe
Ukwuteno, has said the union is ready to fight
until their request is granted, even if takes more
than a year, as he noted that Ghana
experienced a year and some months strike
before the government came to their senses
and the outcome is currently obvious, “we
would do even more till our request is granted,”
he stated.
Despite the N30 billion released to the striking
university lecturers as payment for the earned
allowances, Ukwuteno, has said that the
ongoing strike by the union will continue
because the Federal Government has not
strengthened its vision for the sector.
Speaking to Vanguard Learning in a telephone
interview, Ukwuteno explained that if there are
plans for the sector, government would have
speedily concurred with the plea to innovate
the sector being pursued by the union, adding
that the pursuit of the union is to ensure that
the country meets up with the international
standard of education.
“We hope this would be the last strike that will
surface on this particular discourse, hopefully if
the government cares for education because we
will not budge until our demands are met. The
much emphasis of ‘no money syndrome’ is all
lies as the president could convey over 300
entourage including himself, to China coupled
with their allowances, welfare and other
incentives, they should tell Nigerians where the
money is coming from.
“The quest is not money motivated as
speculated, but to ensure that facilities and
other necessary equipment needed to update
the students are made scalable for effective
learning. Universities are currently operating
with little or no equipment in the labs, making
the labs non-functional for practicals, thereby
sterilizing what is supposed to be practically
inclined.
“It took Ghana a year and some months strike
before the government came to their senses
and the outcome is currently obvious, we would
do even more till our request is granted.”
He therefore urged the public to join in the
struggle by mounting pressure on the
government to hasten up in its decisions
because the students are the casualties now,
but will be the benefactors if eventually
granted.

Reference was made to Ghana. Lecturers in public universities in Ghana have been on strike for over 3weeks. But it was on news yesterday that the University of Ghana Legon branch of the UTAG (University Teachers Association of Ghana) unilaterally called off the strike and resumed lectures yesterday. I understand two other Universities (KNSUT and Cape Coast) are to follow suit. Our ASUU should be more responsive and tactical in their noble battle.
