The Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) at the weekend embarked on mass
mobilisation of members not to comply with the ultimatum
by the Federal Government to resume lectures by December
4, 2013.
The members of the union were also directed not to sign any
register that may be opened by their Vice Chancellors.
ASUU leaders directed all branches chairmen to find means
of mobilising their members not to fall for the threats of the
Federal Government, describing the threat as "empty",
pending the next National Executive Council (NEC) meeting
of the Union, which will be held in Minna.
The Chairmen were also advised not to hold public
congresses in order to avoid any face off with police and
security forces the government deployed to all institutions
for the implementation of the December 4 deadline of re-
opening.
ASUU have started using the short message service (SMS)
and other social media platforms to reach out and to
mobilise members not to succumb to the Federal
Government's threat.
The Nation published some of these SMS:
"Dear members, FG decision to threaten us with sack
confirms our suspicion that FG may not be honest and can
not be trusted. Don't sucumb (sic) to this empty threat. The
strike continues. We shall triumph again. Please, DO NOT
SIGN ANY REGISTER. ALUTA CONTINUA- CHAIRPERSON".
"Dear Congress member, I'm appealing we should stay calm
and remain resolute. There is nothing wrong in asking govt
to do what it says it will do immediately. ASUU is not
making any new demands as the Minister is propagating
Govt is only repeating a 'one act play' scripted by the IBB
dictatorship in early 90s. It didn't work then, and, it won't
work now ALL BRANCHES are intact. We cannot be
intimidated!!! UNITED WE BARGAIN DIVIDED WE BEG!!!
ALUTA CONTINUA".
A professor at the Federal University of Technology Minna,
who spoke with the newsmen on conditions of anonymity,
expressed shock over the ultimatum:
"One is shocked by the deadline. If they sack all of us,
government will go to Kasua Gwari to pack lecturers
or pick Professors on the streets. It is a pity, our
leaders are reckless.
"We are not moved by the ultimatum. We are waiting
to see how they (govt) intend to wriggle itself out of
the self inflicted problem. Do they know how the
system runs? The era of intimidation is gone," the
university don stated.
At the same time, University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), and
Enugu State University of Science and Technology are set
for reopening .

mind you,most of the private uni's lecturers are obtained from the public unis. The government is only engaging in arm twisting tactics. Where do they want to get people with experience to teach,lecturing no be moi-moi ooo.
