ASUU pledges to review ongoing strike - The Nation News

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has promised to review the ongoing two weeks warning strike following the intervention of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila.

Ogunyemi said it has become public knowledge that government could not respect the 2009 agreement it reached with the union. “With our knowledge, we can give them an alternative that could cost them nothing against what they are spending now. “We are saying that there are other ways of tackling corruption rather than IPPIS; we have to come up with a universities accountability system, and let’s join hands to implement it,” he said.

“People will have to come from different parts of the country, the best we can promise here is that you give us to early next week to consult and we will get back to you.”The Minister of State for Labour and Productivity, Mr Festus Keyamo, told the Speaker that ASUU did not give the ministry the two- week notice for the strike as required by the Trade Dispute Act.

Gbajabiamila expressed concern that the ASUU strike has unintended consequences that could only be imagined.On the agreement reached between ASUU and the Federal Government in 2009, Gbajabiamila said he wondered why the government could not meet its commitment for more than 10 years after it signed the document.
