Labour activist and General
Secretary, National Union of
Electricity Employees, NUEE,
Joe
Ajaero has given the Federal
Government one week to
resolve its differences with
the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) or
cripple
the country with the mother-
of-all-strikes.
Ajaero who was speaking
during the opening of a
training workshop organized
for labour
leaders in Enugu, threatened
to
ally with other unions across
the country to join ASUU on a
solidarity stike if the impasse
persists. Ajaero said
government was
being insensitive to the plight
of Nigerian students because
the children of the rich are
studying outside the country.
He said:
“If ASUU issue is not
addressed,
we will shut this country
alongside other unions. We
will
ally with other unions and
make
sure that nothing works in
this
country. This is not a strike
based on
demand, it’s based on
agreement. As government,
you
must honour your
agreement.
Here, there’s no social
security, the price of food is
high, the same goes for
electricity tariff. We are
going
to join our children to stay at
home and let them run the
system,” he threatened.
