Strike Looms As ASUU Says FG Yet To Clear Three Areas by lukotony(m): 1:39pm On Apr 24, 2018 |
Olaleye Aluko, Abuja The Academic Staff Union of Universities has said that there are three areas in the Memorandum of Action it signed with the Federal Government in September 2017 , which have not been fulfilled . According to ASUU, the union cannot but continue to ask questions. Its President , Prof . Biodun Ogunyemi, stated this in Abuja in an interview with our correspondent , noting that prominent among the three was the “NEEDS assessment funds” which , he said , totalled more than N 200 bn annually . Asked whether the union would not embark on a strike action in 2018 , Ogunyemi said the possibility of a strike action would be determined by the Federal Government ’ s commitment to the agreements it reached with the union . He said , “Well , that is if the government works with us to deliver on the minimum which we have on the table now ; we have an eight - point Memorandum of Action and , maybe , we have met three or thereabout . There are three or four pending . We are going back to them . “Particular among them is the NEEDS assessment fund. We still have a negotiation that is going on , headed by Dr . Wale Babalakin SAN . It has been on for about 14 months . We are not making much headway . It appears that some people somewhere want to frustrate us out of that negotiation . “I don ’ t see any ASUU President that will tell you that the lecturers will not ask government questions. There is no ASUU President that can promise you that . Between 2013 and 2017 , which major strike did ASUU embark on ? That was clear four years. The allegation of an annual ritual of strike against us does not arise. The principles behind ASUU strike are clearly two or three . “The first principle is that somebody must fight for the Nigeria’ s university system. Otherwise, the fate that befell public primary and secondary schools will befall the public universities too. Somebody must defend the integrity and mandate of the Nigeria’ s university system. Two , it appears that all of us have gone to sleep in Nigeria. We sleep on our rights . ” http://www.punchng.com/strike-looms-as-ASUU-says-fg-yet-to-clear-three-areas/ |
