NASU General Secretary Peters Adeyemi, who stated this in Abuja, lamented the non-implementation of agreements reached with unions in research institutions 10 years ago. He also blamed government officials for signing agreements only to end strikes without any intention of fulfilling the terms of those agreements.
Adeyemi explained that the volume of industrial crises that had occurred in Nigeria was as a result of refusal of government, particularly the Federal Government, to honestly and faithfully implement agreements that they freely entered into with the unions.
According to him, it is becoming problematic because every day, government signs Memorandum of Understanding, MoU and Memorandum of Agreements, MoA.
Also, President of Teaching Hospitals Research Institutes Akintola Benjamin, while responding to the contentious issue, said the Federal Government had shown careless attitude to respecting signed agreements. He added that the issues in contention included withdrawal of circular on non-skipping of salary grade level 10.
