The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU has called on well-meaning Nigerians to caution the Federal Government to honour its agreement with the union to forestall further industrial crisis in the nation’s tertiary education sector.
The Union’s President Biodun Ogunyemi made the call in Lagos.
It would be recalled that the union’s National Executive Committee, NEC had at the end of its meeting at the Federal University of Technical Akure in Ondo, on November 4th, 2018, declared a ‘total, comprehensive and indefinite’ nationwide strike.
The strike was however suspended on February 7th, after series of negotiations between the parties and other concerned stakeholders.
But he said that the government has not kept faith with the agreement signed on February 7th. According to Ogunyemi, the union has a time frame attached to every action, hence the current call for caution on the part of government.
He explained that government had told the union that the funds had been approved, but Ogunyemi said that there was a huge difference between approval of such funds and its implementation.
