By It appears the ongoing ASUU Strike has NO end in sight
As the industrial action embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities enters into its third week, it appears there is still no end in sight as parties involved can’t find a solution to the lingering crisis.
Just last week the Federal Government team led by Labour Minister, Chris Ngige called for a meeting with the Union but it was ignored by ASUU for reasons later stated.
ASUU has now revealed that FG should be end responsible for the continuation of the strike. According to a chieftain of the union, Dr. Deji Omole, ASUU simply wants the government to do the needful in Nigerian universities.
“ASUU has never run away from negotiation. The issue in contention is about implementation and not negotiation as being peddled by the Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige. It is sad that successive governments, including the incumbent, failed to realise that funding education is an investment which can bring about enduring positive change in the country,” Dr. Omole who is the Chairman of the University of Ibadan chapter of ASUU said in a radio interview.
