National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Professor Biodun Ogunyemi has declared indefinite strike over the increment of fuel pump price.
The union said the government should revert the oil price to N86 per litre.
The letter sent to members of the congress nationwide was read at the University of Ibadan Chapter, where the Chairman, Dr Deji Omole mobilized members to get ready for mass resistance to what he called the obnoxious and callous policy of fuel price increment.
According to Omole, the policy of subsidy removal was the most criminal ambush from the Mohammadu Buhari-led federal government to empower the rich and cripple the poor.
The ASUU boss who said that the common denominator to all Nigerians was poverty, added that the same APC government that failed to pay civil servants for months was now celebrating budget signing with the legalization of black market.
ASUU president in the letter entitled “Increase in Pump price of Premium Motor Spirit to N145 perlitre: Proposal for Joint Action with NLC stated that ASUU members are called upon to according to our Union’s principles, fully respect Article 2 of the Constitution of ASUU; that our Union and members shall work for the protection and advancement of the socio-economic interests of the nation. Branch Chairpersons are to conduct emergency congress meetings on Tuesday 17 May 2016 to mobilise our members for the action commencing on Wednesday. All branches of ASUU nationwide are to comply”.
Ogunyemi anchored the position on “delayed, partially paid and in most cases unpaid salaries for a number of months by state, federal and local governments, disguised retrenchment of workers, especially by State Governments, in the name of verification exercise and endless hunt for ghost workers and heavy taxation”.

So true.

Let's stop clamoring for reversal of the alrdy removed subsidy...
instead we should use our strength and energy in pursing the benefit behind the removal...
This is the right time to differentiate between the hard working rich personnel to the thief who oppress the street with unlaboured resources

ZOMBIES will not like this news. Meanwhile anything to bring down this useless government to it kneel is welcomed by me

DRISKLEF:
I wonder where we're headed to with these catastrophic policies imposed on us by this present administration.

Y'all aren't for the people anymore because i so no reason why a government would establish/revert policies at the distress of its citizen. Some will start telling me about the 'suffer today and bliss tomorrow' ...but i dare say that with the amount of money being lavish and squandered, as well as recovered from the so called looters - i dont see any reason why a single citizen in nigeria should know hardship. These guys doesn't have our interest at heart.


Nigerians Are Suffering and it's not even funny.

So true

FG should reverse this subsidy removal, afterall they said they is nothing like subsidy. This is the only thing we gain from our govt
