The PUNCH reports that the ongoing industrial action by ASUU entered its 56th day Today (Monday).

ASUU had on Monday, February 14, 2022, announced a four week total and comprehensive warning strike following the inability of the union and the Federal Government to reach common ground on the demands of university lecturers.

Some of ASUU’s demands include the release of revitalization funds for universities, renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement, release of earned allowances for university lecturers, and deployment of the UTAS payment platform for the payment of salaries and allowances of university lecturers.

Following the expiration of the initial four weeks of the warning strike, the union had gone ahead to declare another eight weeks saying that it was giving the government more time to attend to its needs.

The government is anti education. They believe education will produce smart people who will challenge their moves to return Nigeria to 1822 levels.

But fg said they don't have money

Nothing will come out of this because
Buhari hates anything, education.

The short man Ngige will only call ASUU
to tell them how and why government
can't meet their demands.

Wetin we never see from this one chance
foolaniy government, wey Osinbajo
says he wants to continue where Bubu

ASUU should be abolished, their incessant industrial action is unacceptable

The meeting always ends in deadlock

This is good

Once the strike is called off, I’m finishing my final year and becoming a pharmacist in few months

Osinbajo, is this what you and your boss promised us.

Tinubu helped you to find a job, will he also help you to the job?

Now, you want us to vote for you, so that you can continue with your failure?

Their main objective now is 2023. That is the Country where we all find ourselves.

They will do their roforofo and end up in deadlock as usual

Another failed negotiation loading...

They are just trying to tell them the country is facing a much bigger crisis and they should put aside their fighting for selfish goals and it's little wonders ASUU is not getting it considering they are just a bunch of suckers, dumbas$ professors

Country that doesn't value education. Make we dey look sha.
