The Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) has stated
that the ongoing indefinite strike
will not be called off soon.
Contrary to wide speculations
that the strike will be called off
tomorrow, the national president
of ASUU, Prof Ukachukwu
Awuzie, insisted that said the
speculation was a far cry from
reality as the government was
still running in circles.
The ASUU boss, who spoke
during a telephone interview
with LEADERSHIP yesterday, said
the ongoing strike would be one
of the issues that would be
discussed by the lecturers.
He said, “The 70 years retirement
age is still an issue and we are
not interested in what the
government has given and what
it hasn’t given. We need to be
convinced.
Didn’t Prof Dora Akunyili on
national television in 2009 state
that the 70 years retirement age
had been approved? The same in
2010, 2011 and we are now in
2012, and still discussing it.”
He noted that the issue had been
discussed in the Federal
Executive Council (FEC) meeting
and had been approved by the
National Assembly and was now
on the table of President
Goodluck Jonathan for his
appendage to make it a law.
He said, “The same manner it
was treated all these years is still
the manner it is treated today.”
LEADERSHIP recalls that after
about four hours behind closed
doors in a meeting with the
federal government, ASUU was
unable to say categorically
whether it will end the strike
which had lasted for over 55
days.

We're into real problem.

i dont want to make any comment

ASUU vs FG
Round 56

They're the known Boko Harams. When ever they want to call it off, let them. I'm tired joor.

rubbish! Where did u get dis from @ poster, yu just wake up one day nd u started postin unconfirmed reports n som mumus blive ds.

We trusted NLC/TUC when they asked people to brace up for the mother of all strikes just for them to back off.

If ASUU boasts that they wont call off the strike, I just know that they have called it off already.

The Buttom line is when you av an igbo man as d president what do u xpect? He's using igbo sense, he knows he'll/they'll get paid while sitting at home and venturing into other bussiness hence making more MONEY at the expense of the nigerian students and their parents. May God vindicate the students.
ASUU! IS! A! SELFISH! INCONSIDERATE! BODY!

And to think i was preparing to go back to school tomorrow!

@jayplect. You go to blazes. I'm not going to answer you.

ASUU is not being considerate. But come to think of it, how many professors stil come to class often at that age? If they insist on holdin unto their positions, what then is d fate of the younger ones? I'm so sick of it all, just wanna go back to sch,

I saw this only on leadership newspaper not found in other news pages,
As for the ASUU boss he is not the only person in ASUU executive, he has said it early ( yesterday ) that if it is for him alone the fed govt offer is not enough, We need latest news on the outcome of the NEC meeting today, not interviews with that greedy old man,

ASUU just want to punish students not the government.Please ASUU call off this strike for the good of all.

mtcheew! xactly the opposite of what i want 2 hear now, going 2 charter movies wey i go watch, i don play game tire.

It's high time we d students come out enmasse and speak for ourselves, our education is shaky which has impact on our future. GREATEST NIGERIAN STUDENTS. IT'S TIME TO ACT FAST.

If the truth be told, why is FG bridling ASUU? The president should assent to the bill in order to make it a law if truly he meant to approve it. I urge ASUU to hold on to the strike UNTIL their demands are fully met so that we will be having incessant strikes.
