Strike: NANS has said ASUU is not their problem, if they must sue anybody, they will sue the minister of education and the FG – Emmanuel Osodeke

President of the Association Staff Union of Universities ASUU , Emmanuel Osodeke has reacted to a recent comment by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu asking students to sue the union for compensation.

Osodeke in an interview with Channels Television on Friday August 19 said students know that the problem is with the government and not the union adding that if students must sue anyone, they’ll sue the minister of education and the federal government.

According to him: “You need to read the response by the president of NANS, Comrade Asefon. He said ASUU is not their problem that their problem is the government and if they must sue anybody, they are actually doing that, they are consulting lawyers, they are going to sue the minister of education and the federal government for forcing ASUU who is an employee of the system and fighting for their (students) interest.”

“What we are saying is that we can resolve this issue within one day as Jonathan did in 2013.

“When it got to this stage in 2013, Jonathan summoned everybody to hear the truth. He heard the truth and we resolved the issue within one night.

“That can be done at this level either by a committee or people that are patriotic, not these ministers that already have bias. We can resolve this issue in one day and our children will go back to school.”
