ASUU Insists on Their Demands.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said they won’t be returning to class until the re-negotiated 2009 agreement is implemented and the University Transparency and Accountability Solution deployed.
Dr Salawu Lawal, The University of Abuja Zonal Coordinator, made this known during a briefing at the University of Abuja in Gwagwalada on Monday.
Dr. Lawal said ASUU members are ready to return to class as soon as their demands are met by the Federal Government.
In his words: “You would recall that the Academic Staff Union of Universities declared a four week rolling strike at the University of Lagos National Executive Council meeting held on Feb. 14 and further extended it by 2months.
“As usual, the Federal Government has ignored ASUU’s call for full implementation of that famous agreement and other memoranda signed with the union.
“No meeting has been held between the two parties since the commencement of the ongoing strike. The only exception is our union’s re-submission of UTAS for a retest.
“The summary is that unless and until the renegotiated 2009 agreement is signed and implemented and UTAS deployed, there will be no work in public universities until further notice.”
The zone comprises the Federal University of Lafia, Federal University of Technology Minna, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai and the University of Abuja.
