The committee, with members drawn across various campuses, is named; “Rapid Response Committee,”

and it is to be chaired by Ade Adejumo, a professor at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology .

ASUU has in the recent time become a subject of criticism among Nigerians following the declaration of an indefinite strike action after almost seven months of staying away from work. ASUU, demanding better conditions of service for its members and better funding for the university system, has refused to shift grounds to suspend the strike until the government meets its demands. Other striking unions in the university system have suspended their strike as negotiations continue with the government.

The three unions said the window was to allow for the conclusion of negotiations with the governmen. They threatened to continue with the strike should the government fail to meet their demands at the expiration of the ultimatums..The minister said ASUU refused to yield to his appeal, insisting on the payment of its members’ five month salaries before the suspension of the strike.

That is a lie. Your professors are just being greedy, irresponsible and unpatriotic for embarking on an indefinite strike after 6months strike. The labour law which allows ASUU to embark on strike while negotiations were ongoing also allows d federal govt to withhold yr salaries

Or both you are to save personal interest

Abeg make una allow this matter rest
