Our lives in danger – ASUU leaders
October 14, 2013by Olufemi Atoyebi, Ibada
National President, ASUU, Nasir Issa-Fagge
The Academic Staff Union of Universities has alleged that its leaders across the country are being watched by security agencies. It said the union leaders’ lives were under threat.
ASUU said security forces were secretly investigating its leaders’ sources of finance.
Chairman of the University of Ibadan chapter of the union, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, in a release titled “ASUU strike: Union leaders go underground,” said he had received calls warning him about his role in the strike. He however said the union would not bow to pressure from security agencies over its action.
Members of ASUU have been on strike since July 1 thus paralyzing academics in public universities for over three months now.
“The position of ASUU is that Nigeria is a democratic country and citizens are guaranteed freedom of association. Members of the union are apprehensive for the lives of their leaders. We urge the government to leave our leaders alone. Our leaders are our servants, we are their principals, they report to us on all matters. Rather than chasing shadow, government is once again called upon to implement the 2009 agreement with ASUU. Only this will bring members to their classrooms,” he said.
According to him, the recent security threat has forced many ASUU leaders to go underground, alleging that many of their phone numbers have been bugged.
“Apart from the issue of finance, ASUU leaders are now being trailed all over the place. Majority of our union leaders have now gone underground while many have their telephone lines bugged. Some are now living in fear for their lives,” Ajiboye said. (Punch

Let's call off this damned Strike. Our Students have lost the enthusiasm built in them for successful skills acquisition, knowledge-base engineering and entrepreneurial initiatives.

We will now start from scratch, if the students need more than the paper qualifications.

So pathetic that the artist forgot to leave the stage when the ovation was (too) loud.

When two elephants fights.........grasses suffer. Pls this strike has lasted more than we fellow compatriots envisaged. Fp today!

Greedy ASUU. Asking for 3.5 trillion?

This statement is reminiscent of a Nigerian politician who wants to resuscitate his fast dwindling profile. The President said ASUU has gone political, has this not proved him right?
Sounds like what one would hear from a Liar Mohammed.

ckkris: Greedy ASUU. Asking for 3.5 trillion?

Na lie joor, how can ASUU ask for #3.5 trillion when nigeria's budget for 2013 is #4.9 trillion?? Ridiculous. some countries' annual budget is not even up to that.

Whatever! Just get back to where you belong; class room.
