The industrial action by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, will continue as members of the National Executive Council, NEC, of the union did not consider the option of suspending the action at its meeting which started Sunday night and ended in the early hours of Monday in Abuja.
The national leadership of the union only briefed the meeting on their interactions and submissions made to the Prof. Nimi Briggs Committee set up the Federal Government to renegotiate the 2009 Agreement with the union.
The leadership also told the meeting about the intervention of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, in the matter and the subsequent nationwide solidarity rallies held by the Congress and its affiliates last week.
“Since there is no sign of any serious commitment on the part of the government, there was no need for the NEC to consider suspending the strike.”
“Can anybody say this is what the Government is offering?”
“They were the ones who set up the Briggs Committee and it made recommendations and the government jettisoned the report.”
“The government is not sincere. Let us assume that we are asking too much, which is not even the situation, is it not that the government will come out with its offers and we will deliberate whether to accept or not. We have been saying it that they want to kill the university system just as they did public primary and secondary schools”.
