Jonathan Meets ASUU Today, Union Warns Against Force by sweetflame(m): 5:30am On Nov 04, 2013 |
PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan will meet the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities on Monday (today), apparently with a view to resolve the Federal Government-ASUU face-off that has left varsity gates shut since July 1. But the union said it had got wind of Presidency’s plan to direct that universities be reopened, saying such directive without amicable resolution of the current strike would deepen the crisis. Chairman of ASUU, University of Uyo chapter, Dr. Nwachukwu Anyim, said this in a statement in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on Sunday, saying that the union leaders were invited by the President. Anyim said the invitation by Jonathan should ordinarily inspired hopes that the four-month-old strike by the lectures would soon end but that the union needed to be cautious in its optimism. His statement read, “We are aware that President Jonathan intends to meet with the leadership of ASUU tomorrow, Monday, November 4, 2013, in a bid to address the deadlock in the ongoing strike by the members of the union. “Ordinarily, the invitation by the President to the union would give the impression that the resolution of the strike was on the horizon. While we appreciate the present show of concern from the high office of the Presidency, we are, however, cautious in our optimism that the meeting between the President of the country and the union would yield desired results. “The apparent lack of enthusiasm among our members concerning the outcome of the meeting is based on government’s lack of commitment towards the implementation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement and the memorandum signed with ASUU. While we hope that the Federal Government would see reason to finally resolve the issues in contention, we urge well -meaning Nigerians and stakeholders to persuade government to implement the agreement with the union in order to save Nigeria’s public universities.” It added, “We have received information that President Jonathan intends to direct that universities should be re-opened immediately. As a branch, we do not think that such a directive would resolve the issues at stake. Rather, such a directive would deepen the prevailing crisis. A show of force by the president could only, at best, result in a “pyrrhic victory.” “We stand on the existing agreement between the union and the Federal Government. The MoU between government and ASUU and also the NEEDS Assessment Report should provide the road map for the resolution of the ongoing strike by ASUU.” Source www.punchng.com |

Why are they pre-emptive? Hope they wanted their rights? If they have dragged their negotiation to the last bus stop, they should as well anticipate a boomerang. For sure, the strike will be over after today's meeting after the Presidential treat. |

If FG shud forced d Uni's to resume, who's gona lecture d students? Perhapz de cant jux start employin new lecturers lyk dat anyao, na so e easy? Na jux shakara jorr. Make FG pay money na haba ! |
Re: Jonathan Meets ASUU Today, Union Warns Against Force by fabby26(m): 7:50am On Nov 04, 2013 |
ASUU is bent on implementation of their agreement and nothing will make them shift their ground not even if God comes down from heaven. The president seeing them does not change their stand, and nothing will change it. And FGN using forceful means may appear fruitful at onset, but I smell failure. The best thing for FG to do is 100% implementation. CHIKINA 1 Like |

U guyz dont know what it means to force the universities to reopen... If Fg declares all universities to resume work using veto power, all lectures will go back to work. It just like ordering the sch management to call back their lecturers to work. Even ASUU know what VETO power means. 1 Like |

Hopefully, the both parties will shift grounds. Next time, FGN should study an agreement properly before endorsing it. Most times, they think everything is politics of promise and fail to deliver. |
Re: Jonathan Meets ASUU Today, Union Warns Against Force by MaziOmenuko: 9:20am On Nov 04, 2013 |
LARRYDKING: U guyz dont know what it means to force the universities to reopen... The president can't use his veto power on ASUU. The worst he can do, after the no-work-no-pay strategy currently in place is to direct the universities to open; a register be made available for lecturers who resumed to sign; then he can sack the other lecturers. Definitely, they can go to court and win, after which the FG will appeal and reappeal and the lecturers will remain unemployed until 15yrs time, awaiting the result of the appeal. 2 Likes |

Merely meeting the President is not a precursor that the strike would be called off. What matter is for both party to reach an amicable conclusion as par the implementation of the 2009 agreement between them! That's all. 1 Like |

Abeg dere is nothing lyk amicable Wen it comes 2 ASUU,dey simply hav refused 2 listen,and are bent on gettin d FG 2 implement an agreement dat doesn't seem realistic considering wot d FG has been sayin,mr president shuld use his veto power on dese idiots and make dem go bak 2 work,if he doesn't do something drastic like dis,d strike wil drag on til nxt year.. #CallOffTheStrikeNOW!!! |
