The Academic Staff Union of Universities on Sunday said it would not end the strike it embarked on until government paid all the salaries of its members it withheld.

The President of ASUU, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, in a telephone interview with our correspondent in Lagos, said government should not expect the lecturers to resume without paying the withheld salaries.

Recall that there were reports on November 27 that the union had agreed to end its strike following the Federal Government’s promise to release N70bn to ASUU as earned allowance.

But Ogunyemi on Sunday explained that the members were still consulting and at the same time waiting for the government to fulfil its promise of releasing members’ withheld salaries.

“We are still consulting; we have not finished consultation, by the end of this week we shall make our report public. There are promises government made with dates. Government promised to release salaries of our members. The withheld salaries have not been paid and we need to have information on that. Government should not expect us to resume without releasing our salaries.”

He emphasised that once the timeline expired this week without the salaries being paid, the union would take a final decision.

“I can’t vouch for anything about resumption, but my members will determine that. The only thing I know is that payment of withheld salaries can smoothen the process and that is what we have told the government. It will aid the final decision.

“The government gave a timeline and we are monitoring, once the timeline expires this week, our members will take a final decision. If they pay the withheld salaries, it will make the process easier to handle.”

Yeah.... I believe your reply is the right question to ask... The government procatisnation... The ASUU members are just trying to make us know that they are tired of a failed system and pls don't quote saying they have embarked on numerous strike before this regime the fact is that we have never had it this bad.

I'm glad u understand too, ASUU member are not going to get deceived this time around, the government will hv to settle them before the strike can be terminated

tomorrow ASUU will come to tell us they're after the betterment of the Nigerian students.


All they're after is the money the never worked for...

The day our docile Nigeria student remember them,that day will be the end of this their yearly money making venture.


#End2ASUU

This is hilarious because I saw a tread about someone complaining that Jamb and NECO refused to conduct exams...

What school do you want these kids to go to when ASUU Is still on strike?

I HOPE I MADE SENSE

Forget about Earned academic allowance.
Forget revitalization fund.
Forget UTAS.
Forget 2009 agreement.
This is the basic salaries being owed lecturers for months now that we're talking about. Even this the govt is finding too difficult to pay!
Is there any atom of seriousness or commitment from those charlatans towards resolving this issue?
I personally know that the pledged N70bn is way too astronomical to expect this particular govt to dump into education alone, especially considering their antecedents.
But what about owed salaries,is that also too much?

Buhari government is not serious about ending this strike

Infact I just like the ASUU union o, rather than the rubbish NLC

E b things

School no even sure next year sef

No work, no pay.
Let there be a precedence.

Owed salaries?
You mean these great lecturers were busy working and delivering great lectures yet this evil government has decided not to pay them for their work?
This is pure evil.

.. Nigerian students are better off teaching themselves.. Cos Nigerian lecturers are incompetent and very lazy. What are they even teaching the students? How to cram lecture notes, and what else? Nonsense!

ASUU are more corrupt than the legislative and the executive only judiciary surpassed them in corruption. The most corrupt nation in the universe. Good morning Nigeria

Search for saynotobadgovernment on telegram to join

Let's start from there

Ok

This should be the longest ASUU strike I can remember... Whatever it's, they should settle it once, even if it lasts a year... so they don't come back after 8 months and embark on strike for the same thing. They started dis discussion during Jonathan's tenure, gone to strike many times already for it

It is easy to say that government is not interested in the education of her citizens especially for them not to be enlighten enough to chose or demand their rights.

God when are you going to deliver this country??

Alright

lol...abeg just postpone all negotiation till next year jare...this year don finish already

Yeye people

I wonder how Nigerian universities will be if there are no ASUU. It will be so terrible

Sorry to say, but this Union has been the cause of many wasted years for undergrads and postgraduate students..

Demonic

ASUU is using FG to catch cruise.

Wahala for student wey no fit sell market like macsjebs.


By the way, ASUU is really holding Fg by the balls, I hope NLC is learning from the academicians.
