Comr. Levi Zachariah George NURSS NAT’L PRESIDENT to ⁠ASUU: CALL OFF STRIKE ACTION FOR STUDENT’S SAKE

President, National Union of Rivers State Students, NURSS NAT’L, Comr. Levi Zachariah George has appealed to the striking members of Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU to call off the industrial action for the sake of the students and their Children.
He also urged them to consider its psychological effect on the students and return to the negotiating table with the government to find a lasting solution to the crisis before the 21st of September, 2020.
The President made the appeal in Port Harcourt on Saturday.
Zachariah, however, lambasted the government for not honouring the agreements between it and the university teachers, which ASUU said were reached in 2009.
Recall that there had been a lingering face-off between ASUU and the Federal Government on the 2009 agreements and the IPPIS, prompting another bout of strike by the University teachers.
ASUU should use the Remaining days before 21st September to reach an agreement with the Federal government in settling the long issues that made them embark on strike.
It will be very shameful that after more than five months of Schools shut down, that ASUU up till now have not settled there challenges with the federal government.
The students community especially Rivers state Students will not welcome any ASUU strike as the pandemic has done more harm than good.
If ASUU mean well for their children (Students), then the strike should be called off before the 21st of September, 2020 which is the proposed Resuming date for all Schools. The President added.
