However, ASUU has restated its rejection
of the ultimatum, issuing yesterday a 14-
point guideline to its members on why
they must sustain the strike, adding that
government’s claim that external forces
were behind the union only betrays
government’s desperation to distract the
union’s genuine cause.
This was made known by the union in
Strike Bulletin No. 14, signed by ASUU
National President Dr. Nasir Isa Fagge.
The union came up with 14 guidelines
signaling that it is prepared for a long
drawn battle with the Federal
Government.
The guidelines read in part:
• Do not sign any resumption of duty.
Government is out to humiliate us. Hold
your head high. This too shall pass!!!
• If you receive any query on account of
the ongoing strike, failure to sign
resumption of duty register, etc, bring
such to the attention of the branch
chairperson immediately for guidance.
• It is a general knowledge that members
of ASUU are on a national strike. It is
against the Labour Act and the ILO
convention to sack anybody on account
of participation in a strike, no matter
how remotely related.
• Remain resolute and refrain from
violating the ongoing strike. Our Union
is capable of protecting its members.
• Meanwhile, be security conscious. Do
not visit security agencies alone. In case
of difficulties, always consult your
Chairperson.
• With our collective resolve, we can
again brush off this unwarranted and
provocative onslaught. Stand to be
counted on the positive side of history.
Do not betray your union.
The leadership of ASUU also justified its
struggle and insisted that it is in the
public interest.
It said: “Our collective national struggle
to save the future of public system has
entered yet another critical phase. The
National Strike Coordinating Committee
(NSCC) commends all members for their
steadfastness and commitment to this
patriotic cause.
More so, lecturers of the states and
Federal universities in the Southwest
said they remained resolute, describing
Federal government’s threat to sack
them as ‘primitive and derogatory’.
The local ASUU chair, Dr Adesola Nassir,
addressing reporters said the Ibadan
Zone of ASUU comprising University of
Ibadan, University of Lagos, Lagos State
University, Federal University of
Agriculture, Abeokuta and Tai Solarin
University of Education, Ijagun, would
sustain the strike.
They added that, a government that
could hurry to inject over two trillion
naira into ailing banks that are privately
owned should not find it difficult to
infuse N200bn into public universities
across the country. talkofnaija.com

1. Not a credible source, so maybe this is not official.
2. ASUU purpose for going for strike is legitimate and justifiable.
3. The blame and negative consequences of this ASUU strike rest squarely on the feet of the Federal Government; WHY:
a. The FG negated on the agreement with ASUU in 2009.
b. The FG said those that signed the 2009 agreement did not know what they were doing.
c. So ASUU is insisting that the MoU now reached with the FG should be duly signed. The FG is yet to accept the signing and word of mouth you most agree is not enough, considering how the FG denied the last one.

NB:
It is important to state that ASUU is protected by all the International Labour Laws and many provisions in the Nigeria constitution to be paid in full all outstanding salaries during the strike. Sentiments does not give you employer the right to sake or owe you for participating in a Strike Action.
