Labour activist and General Secretary,
National Union of Electricity Employees, NUEE,
Joe Ajaero has given the Federal Government
one week to resolve its differences with the
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) or
cripple the country with the mother-of-all-
strikes.
Ajaero who was speaking during the opening
of a training workshop organized for labour
leaders in Enugu, threatened to ally with other
unions across the country to join ASUU on a
solidarity stike if the impasse persists.
He said: “If ASUU issue is not addressed, we
will shut this country alongside other unions.
We will ally with other unions and make sure
that nothing works in this country.”
Ajaero said government was being insensitive
to the plight of Nigerian students because the
children of the rich are studying outside the
country.
“This is not a strike based on demand, it’s
based on agreement. As government, you
must honour your agreement. Here, there’s no
social security, the price of food is high, the
same goes for electricity tariff. We are going
to join our children to stay at home and let
them run the system,” he threatened.
The labour leader said that the time has come
to bar public office holders form sending their
children to schools abroad or travel overseas
for free treatment, noting that not until then,
will government take the various institutions
serious and put things the way they should
be.
Ajaero however, reassured electricity workers
that the union would ensure that everybody
receive their entitlements before the final
handover to private investors and urged them
to make good and judicious use of the money
and not go on spending spree.
“They are playing politics with us but all we
have told them is to give us our entitlements
and we will handover tomorrow. They said
before the end of this week; if we don’t see
evidence of payment, we won’t handover.”
According to him, the workshop is to prepare
them for better management of the funds
through skill acquisitions and entrepreneurial
skills and urged them to take the workshop
serious.
