The University of Nigeria chapter of
Academic Staff Union of Universities on
Friday said its members would not resume
work on Monday unless their demands are
met.
The UNN-ASUU also had harsh words for
the Minister of Education, Dr. Nyesom Wike,
for issuing the order directing lecturers to
resume work on Monday or get sacked.
The union, however, told THE PUNCH that it
wouldn’t react officially to Wike’s order
until President Goodluck Jonathan speaks.
“We have not heard from the President, so
we cannot speak officially on the matter. It
would be senseless to begin to react to a
statement from Wike since he is a tout.
“What we would simply say is that, we
don’t have any business with touts like
Wike whose children are studying in
Ghana, yet they (people in government)
cripple the education system in Nigeria,”
said Dr. Ifeanyi Abada, Chairman of UNN-
ASUU.
Abada said Wike’s order cannot hold and
vowed that ASUU would unleash terror if
the minister attempts to carry out the
order.
