The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU University of Abuja branch, has told Nigerians that the ongoing strike will continue because the Federal Government is yet to call the union for discussion.
The ASUU’s branch chairman, Kassim Umaru, said this in an interview with newsmen at the end of its Congress, held at the University’s Mini Campus in Gwagwalada.
Umaru also challenged the Federal Government to reference any of the things done to bring to an end the ongoing strike.
According to him, Congress deliberated on issues around the strike and vehemently pronounced and rejected the offer presented by the Federal Government, adding that the National Executive Council, NEC would meet at the end of the four weeks ultimatum to take its decision.
The lecturers’ agitations include funding for the revitalization of public universities, earned academic allowances, University Transparency Accountability Solution, promotion arrears and others.
It will be recalled that ASUU, on February 14, shut down public universities over the inability of the Federal Government to implement previous agreements both parties entered into.
