The Academic Staff Union of Universities, on Saturday, says the eight-month-old strike by universities lecturers is still on.

The organisation also said it does not operate a Twitter account. It debunked reports announcing the suspension of the ongoing industrial action as fake.He said, “ASUU does not have a Twitter account. Many people have been bombarding me with telephone calls and I can’t answer again. If we want to call off our strike, we will address a press conference and that is how we operate.

The government also offered to increase the Earned Allowances to university staff from N30 billion to N35b and the Revitalisation Fund from N20b to N25b. The development came after weeks of negotiations and disagreements by the FG and ASUU, which proposed the University Transparency and Accountability Solution as its preferred payment platform.

The breakthrough in negotiations is expected to end the eight-month strike embarked on by the university lecturers as parents and students wait on ASUU to call off the strike.

Because nono of ur kids aren't in anything like Nigeria university that why strike is still on ....

GreatNwolisa

May GOD strike the life of ASSU Union in Nigeria.

Nigeria is the only Country where Professors rig elections for Politicians but expel students for Examination Malpractices. The same Politicians end up punishing the Professors with non payment of salary then the Professors turn back and punish the student with Long ASUU Strike

ASUU president = COCONUT HEAD

That’s your business

ASSU is an inhumane mix. Doubt strongly if they know the value of education which they claim to manage.

Because your children are all schooling abroad

This guy nor da change picture

Dented hope

Please help our education now

👀

When your back is against the wall, there'll be no shifting grounds. Sad this is how it has to play out... ASUU_FG EndBadGoveranceInNigeria corrupt

Let’s the strike continues! All the youths must join us all as we begin the process of Nigeria burial soon. It’s all our battle to EndNigeriaNow! If we don’t unite to end it now, it will end us all. No going back to school.

LordCouver The end of the strike is close

Is on with only your family

Be the first to watch this, and you will be surprised.

I remember wen I was an undergraduate, we experienced long term strike such as this,i had to go n learn catering,i had no choice cos I hate been idle,pls n pls gt somtin doin to survive cos dts probably wat u will still fall back on after u graduate😀😀

The annoying thing is,their own children are learning overseas,come out with whatever grades and get a very high paying job here in this country witout stress or sweat,to change this country,it has to start frm the root,cos it has so many rotten branches

I hope and pray God blesses me so much more than I pray for,my children need to leave this damn country for a bright future,Nigeria educational system has been failing and has paralysed ever since a graduate with a good grade cnt even secure a good job😪😪

Bitter truth,please if you are an undergraduate in Nigeria,infact,as a youth,endeavour to learn a good skill,be perfect in it,work your ass out and get good money,establish yourself ij your own little way,forget about Nigerian educational system,its a dead system already

God will surely punish you!

Are you guys not ashamed of your selves?

So who started the expensive joke that asuu had called off the strike? You people should stop that rubbish. Asuu? We move!

I trust them

Abiodun resign so that a humanitarian will assume the seat, or better let this union be scrapped because they are only fighting for their selfish interest

Na wa OO this country na just cruise

walex313 This guys are inconsiderate lot. FG has shifted ground significantly, strike ought to be called off immediately, but, now we have to wait till at least Friday. It is unfortunately that FG is showing more desire to end the strike than them.

SaniMusa_ This ppl are not serious 😒

We move..

I was expecting to hear what’s next after the offer from the government. At least in the interview you could have asked such question so the students would know their fate

thatgirlsewa 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Let ASUU do whatever they wanted to do on time so that students can return back to school. The actions of ASUU is given the private universities to do what pleases them. ASUU, eberu Olorun

Why 🥺🥺

See this one sha, he's even smiling while giving out bad and sad news. Seems there is this kind of Joy that's been derived from Using Students live to catch cruise.

But why What else

No need for your emphasis. We are all sinking into it together.😢

As e be na only poor man pikin no graduate this year. Private universities are the most functioned university now.

They dey use Nigerians education play te'te game. Sets of bad leaders.

This guys love fake news like nothing else..... just go to their official page and confirm there. No conclusion yet

Nawa ooo🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️

Una no dey tire

Now this is witchcraft. Asuu is an enemy of destiny. Na only them dey?

If the FGN has no money to meet up 26% of budget for Education as recommend by UN, let her cut down cost of Governance.

Oga oo

I follow back!

It's a school free year!

For all you packing condoms instead of test books. Be calming down. Person wife dey inside ppl wey u want bang so.

Can we know why Pls

Yes, der will be congresses b4 it will be called off.

It's obvious asuu are fighting for their pocket not for us

He's chilling and having a nice time.

I'm sorry to say this .. But if ur parents are among these people participating in this meeting-combo btw asuu and fg (even if na the camera man) and you are not begging them..Ogun go kill all of una😒🚶🏿🚶🏿

Wahala😫

How long will this last, it's not healthy for the youth of this country and going down to records as the longest ASUU strike ever.

Monkeys

Alhmdlh this is what we want to ear,we are waiting for them to call us in this week by the grace of God

_G0ldfinger Fuck y’all fr

Both Asuu and fg are useless

No dey announce dis mourn statement again Just inform us when it has being call off period!! 🙁🙁🙁

Confusion everywhere

I have a problem 😣. It's a lack of followers 😭😭😭. I follow back instantly!!!!🙏🏼😣. Let's grow together!!!❤️❤️🙏

Thank you Jesus

Has the strike turned to a debate. Are they dragging the strike with any one?

kanong__ Wahala for who go federal university

Awon Alaseju

After we finish school no job so why are we bothering ourself, let’s just start something

This Guy deprives joy from this Game they are playing with FG. His Children are in Ghana receiving quality education, he dey here dey gamble with our future. Thunda faya him!

Well it’s a normal thing, we all know that ASUU is also corrupt not only the government, so my advise is let’s forget about education in Nigeria and find something to do rather than put hope on ASUU to suspend strike or not.

This government does not have the interest of their citizens at heart.

These people are just using someone's child future to play long tennis 🎾

These guys are wicked aswear down

The strike has lasted long and ASUU should not suspend it utill all their needs are met. They should not be fooled by FG only to emback on another strike in 2021. Use this year to get things done

Is ASUU fighting for the Nigeria students or for their pockets? With their nonchalant attitude, they're destroying our education sector.

Oh good

The news I want to hear

Useless set of people

Mingin001 oya go and submit your internship form at that mechanic workshop

Awon werey

By God's grace, strike we be called of before the end of the month, but they want to call local Congress meetings at campuses. May the Almighty God help some old reluctant academics who even deny having Twitter account by the Grace of most Precious Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ

what is this ?

He be like say he no won better for Asuu abi

This man is wicked

If you know say u don finish school like this tweet 🤣

Remember my post on this yesterday that these tired legs called Lecturers will refuse to call off the strike despite all FG's efforts, current ASUU chairman never wanted to do anything except strikes for all his tenure, I pity these students, FG, pls take drastic actions I beg

See the countries you can travel to with your Nigerian Passport without a prior visa.

The thing is Government can't be trusted that is the reason why they are waiting to see Government moves before calling anything

Both FG and ASUU re bunch of fools

A big shame to all of you!! B/c of FG & ASUU, my student reg no was 2001/103***, yet I graduated from Engr in 2007, despite not missing an academic year. Unfortunately, things have got worse. Little wonder private University is big business, and most of them are shareholders!!

On ASUU strike and tone-deaf reactionsThe Igbo have a saying: one’s height is not a yardstick for determining one’s maturity. A Nigerian professor, who shall remain unnamed, recently said that the p I read through this and I can only tell the writer this, that if the students are really tired like you emphasis, they should be out there on the street protesting bcuz they have a part to play too not sitting at the corner of their homes EndSARS BuharifromNiger First of all, the owners of those parody accounts should be arrested, if allowed; it should be indicated clearly that it is a parody account. Secondly ASUU should Know that politicians are machine men with machine minds, unless they (ASUU) wants to be seen as such too.
