The Academic Staff Union
of Universities, ASUU, on
Monday made good their
decision not to return to
class as directed by the
Federal Government until
all the agreement reached
are properly signed.
“How can you call
off a strike when
there is nothing to
show for it? The
government is not
qualified to call off
the strike. Our union
is awaiting the
government to state
all it has done in
black and white .
However, it is a
serious insult on us
for the government
to be harassing us
with sacking threat.
We are not casual
workers or labourers.
Our research work
has been ongoing.”
The striking university
teachers also refused to
sign any form of
attendance registers in
their institutions as was
directed by the
government.
They said they were only
waiting for the sack letters
the Federal Government
threatened to give them if
they did not return to
work..
The National Treasurer of
ASUU, Dr. Ademola
Aremu, said they would
have wasted their time
and effort if they caved in
and returned to work
under threat.
Also, the UNICAL ASUU
Chairman, Dr. James
Okpiliya, insisted that the
Federal Government must
meet the lecturers’
demands before the strike
could be suspended
