ASUU agreed to end Strike today – Ngige
Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige has revealed that it has delivered on offers made to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The Minister made it known that at its last meeting, the union agreed to call off the nine-month-old strike before December 9.
Ngige in his statement on Tuesday noted that ASUU wrongly informed the public that the government agreed to pay all withheld salaries before it will resume work. He stressed that the timelines attached to the various offers made to the union had been complied with.
The minister further stated that he had reached out to the Minister of Education on getting a waiver on the issue of ‘No Work, No Pay’ under section 43 of the Trade Disputes Act.
This strike has lasted for so long and the government has been playing to the galary with it
It is high time the government settles these ASUU people so that our education system does not collapse
Which one is no work no pay? Instead of finalizing the deal with ASUU, you are here talking about no work no pay.
Those students have suffered a lot and you need to put them as your first priority.
Students have stayed at home up to ten months now yet you are still not reach compromise with ASUU. Then, when would you reach agreement.
The lives of the leaders of tomorrow ought to matter most to you. Behaving in such way is not proper when your family are schooling in abroad without any stress, here in Nigeria you are toy with our education, may Almighty God have mercy on us.
That is good news…..
You are telling us that ASUU strike ends today so that we can start clapping for you people or what after 9months of keeping students at home your now announcing it as if it’s just a month strike.
God is watching you people.
Thank God o at last….ambleaa concern about the present government, what concern me is that are the students that have backword on their education. Well we just give glory to God.
