Govt lied, no Agreement on strike suspension date – ASUU
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has stated that the union did not reach any agreement with the Federal Government to suspend its ongoing strike.
ASUU President, Biodun Ogunyemi, made this known in a statement issued on Wednesday following the remark from the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige that ASUU had promised to suspend the strike on December 9.
According to Ogunyemi, there was nothing in the government’s offer on November 27 to suggest the end of the nine-month strike.
He said;
“Therefore, the ASUU leadership did not reach any understanding with the government to suspend the strike on 9th December 2020 and there is nothing in the government offer of 27th November 2020 to suggest that conclusion as allegedly claimed by the Minister of Labour and Employment,” the statement partly read.
“The leadership of ASUU has consistently stated at every meeting with high ranking government officials that the union’s representatives have no mandate to take a final decision on any strike action by the union.
“All the leadership does is to present government offers through its organs, and that we have done faithfully in the current situation.”
They have been lying from the beginning, we are used to it
What type of government do we have now
They joke with very serious issues
Is this a kindred meeting, even if it is,at least a little bit of seriousness should be put into it
I weep for my dear country
Abeg shut cuz am tired of everything…. You are all both lying……
ASUU should please consider those students that are sitting at home going to a year now, those politicians are not affected by this issue that is why they are behaving in such manner.
We have known them since that they do not use to be sincere with their dealings or negotiation when it comes to the things that will benefit the citizens.
They just want to use media to paint the ASUU blue black and people will now think that ASUU is the one that is not but they are the one.
Both parties should look for way forward instead of letting the misunderstanding continue which is dangerous to our future leaders and Nigeria at Large.
we all know that there will be no school for this year our prayers is that let the reason be for next year January so that also University student can peacefully return back to classes
I don’t blame all of you, I mean the Federal Government and ASUU you are all doing this because your children are all schooling outside the country.
I was just looking at the man that said that his biological children is schooling in Nigeria Unviserty.
