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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Salawu Lawal, The University of Abuja Zonal Coordinator, made this known during a briefing at the University of Abuja in Gwagwalada on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Lawal said ASUU members are ready to return to class as soon as their demands are met by the Federal Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his words: \u201cYou 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.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs usual, the Federal Government has ignored ASUU\u2019s call for full implementation of that famous agreement and other memoranda signed with the union.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo meeting has been held between the two parties since the commencement of the ongoing strike. The only exception is our union\u2019s re-submission of UTAS for a retest.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said they won’t be returning to class until the re-negotiated 2009 agreement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":781,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
