We Might Have No Choice But To Extend The Current Strike – ASUU

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has come out to blast the Federal Government’s handling of the negotiation on its demands and nonchalant attitude towards the ongoing strike.

The group recently had its say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to the President of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, it is highly shameful for Ngige to tell the union to go and liaise with another party other than the government, and ASUU might have no choice but to roll over the strike after its expiration.

Emmanuel added that the current rollover ends in two weeks, but there has been nothing new from the FG that will lead to a resolution.

His words, “The rollover ends in two weeks, and there is no information, nothing new from the FG. They didn’t make any effort to get in touch with us or seek ways of ending the strike.”

“Our members will decide after two weeks what step to take. We will meet. We are not begging them for discussion; they should invite us for any meeting. That’s the way it should be. We are not on strike with Ngige or Briggs but against the government, so why is he saying we should go and meet one committee or one person? We are on strike against a system. Ngige just talks without thinking. Are we on strike with a particular person?”
