FG, ASUU back to the matter
The Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU, has accused the Federal Govt of failing to honor one of the
agreements it entered with FG before last year's six-month-old strike was
called off.
FG had promised the release
of N20billion at the
beginning of every quarter for infrastructural development
of all Universities during its negotiations with ASUU.
In a media parley with
newsmen at the University of Ibadan yesterday, the National Treasurer of ASUU,
Dr. Ademola Aremu lamented the failure of Government to honour agreements with
ASUU.
"All the strike ASUU
had embarked upon in this country were basically because the Federal Government
failed to honour agreements freely entered with us. It is also sad that each
time before we begin the strike, we would give the government enough warnings
and grace to make them retrace their steps. But they always fail. We don’t know
why the government is always unwilling to implement the documents signed by
their representatives. However, we will continue to fight for the system
because if the system collapses, we will collapse with it.”
