ASUU Strike: EBSU withdraws from protest, orders students to resume immediately

Posted by: b3rrilyn in News Nov 26, 2013

Apparently tired of the non-progressive dialogue between the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, and the federal government over the ongoing strike, authorities of the Ebonyi State University have decided to pull out of the protest.

According a terse statement by the institution’s Registrar, Mr. Sam Egwu, the decision came after the ASUU National Executive Council failed to end the four-month strike at the weekend meeting.

Academic activities will resume in all the university campuses tomorrow, Tuesday, November 26.

The statement reads, �Having waited patiently for the Federal Government and ASUU to resolve the impasse occasioned by the over four months strike embarked upon by the Union to no avail, the management of EBSU, on Monday, November 26 has resolved to reopen the school.

�We therefore inform all concerned that teaching and learning will begin fully on Tuesday, 26th, November, 2013. This is to enable us cover what we have lost to the strike.”
