ABUJA — ACADEMIC Staff Union of Universities,
ASUU, has described as speculative reports that the
strike embarked upon by the union over the inability
of the Federal Government to implement the 2009
agreement it willingly entered into with the union
would be called off this Thursday.
National President of ASUU, Dr. Nasir Fagge, told
Vanguard that he was surprised to hear that the
union was going to call off the strike on Thursday
when the issues tabled before government had not
been resolved.
Faggae said: “There is nothing like that (suspending
the strike). I am also surprised to hear people say
that we are going to call off the strike.
He said: “Our members have made it categorically
clear what they want. This meeting we had with
government on Friday at the office of the Secretary to
the Government of the Federation, SGF, is just
exploratory.
“We are trying to look at issues holistically and see
how we are going to address them. So assignments
were given to various people that attended the
meeting and the expectation is that we will meet
tomorrow (today), Monday and look at the
assignment given and also look at it on Thursday
again.
“So, that is why I’m surprised to hear people say that
we are going to suspend strike on Thursday. The
mandate of our members is very clear. So, we will
wait and see what the Monday and Thursday
meetings unfold and then we report back to our
members.”
On how long it would take ASUU leaders to convene a
meeting with its members after the meeting with
government on Thursday, the ASUU boss said “we
are in constant consultation with our members, we
don’t really have problems with that.
“After the meeting, we will decide when to link up
with our members depending upon what is placed on
table on Thursday.”
Commenting on the speculation that the union might
suspend the strike if the government met up to 50
per cent of the agreement, Faggae said the union
would prefer to get to the bridge before crossing it.
He commended the positive disposition of the Joint
Senate and House of Representatives Committee on
Education towards the resolution of the crisis.
Fagge added: “For us, the interaction we have had
with the Joint Committee clearly indicates that they
are concerned like other Nigerians”.
“This is expected of the representatives of people.
You see the problem has always been that the
executive arm of government does not really hearken
to advise that are given on how best to address the
problems on education in this country.
“We are convinced as a union that the only thing the
government can really do for Nigerians is to avail
them of education.
“Once you are able to do that, you will see that
people will be able to generate jobs and they will be
able to take care of themselves and contribute to
nation building. So that is the argument we are
placing on the table.”

29 days and still counting.......i'll let you know when it's 100

Is it that a whole ASUU chairman can't understand simple english,FG said d strike might be called off not will be called off.

Will strike ever leave our educational system in this country?

Morkavictor: Is it that a whole ASUU chairman can't understand simple english,FG said d strike might be called off not will be called off.

I'm sure he understood the statement. Maybe he was just trying to let them know that they shouldn't factor in any probability of the strike being called off if there's no willingness to meet their conditions. And maybe they are also tired of FG's maradonic style to always have their way.
