The Academic Staff Union of Universities, says the Federal Government should be held responsible for any industrial unrest in the public universities.
ASUU Chairman, Federal University, Dutse, Chairman, Salim Ahmad, who gave the warning in a statement, said over the past four years, Nigeria’s public universities have been in a state of industrial disharmony, leading to two costly and avoidable strike actions.
He noted that the nonchalant attitude of the administration to our legitimate and reasonable demands compelled the ASUU’s National Executive
Council, NEC following wide consultations, to convene a meeting at the University of Ibadan, where it deliberated on the contending issues and resolved to give a 21-day ultimatum to the Government to address them.
ASUU said failure of the Federal Government to meet the monetary and non-monetary demands of the union is brewing industrial disharmony in Nigeria’s public universities.
