ASUU: We have not called off the strike

ASUU, yesterday, disclosed to the general public that it will not suspend the industrial action, unless Federal Government looks into the agreement it reached with it in 2009. This is resulted from rumuors and publications on social media that the union had called of the one week old strike. On an interview with Vanguard, the ASUU Chairman, University of Lagos (UNILAG), Chapter, Dr. Karo Ogbinaka said: “The strike is still ongoing. We have not suspended or called-off the strike. Perhaps, before we do that,a National Executive Council(NEC) meeting must be held, then, the resolutions of the meeting will be made known to all chapters of the union,” he further added, “The indefinite and total strike willcontinue, except government meets our demands.” Meanwhile, FG through its Ministry of Education led by Prof. Ruqayyatu Rufai will on Monday, meet with stakeholders in the ministry, which included Vice Chancellors of Federal universities and their Governing Councils, together with interested Vice Chancellors of State and Private universities. It would recalled that the union had last Monday, called out its members on an indefinite industrial action over what ittermed government’s failureto honour the Academic Earned Allowance (AEA) which formed a component ofthe 2009 agreement the government signed with the union.
