The union also accused the government of displaying an indifferent attitude toward its demands.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has maintained that its members would not call off the over three months’ strike despite the Federal Government’s payment of the minimum wage arrears of the lecturers.The lecturers union stated this in a circular the University of Lagos branch issued, titled, “Payment of minimum wage arrears.”

The chairman of UNILAG ASUU, Dele Ashiru, described the payment as “long-overdue”, adding that the core demands of ASUU had not been met.The circular read, “The leadership of our Branch has been inundated with calls concerning the recent payment of the long-overdue arrears of the consequential adjustment of the minimum wage.

“Our members are reminded that this is not one of the core demands upon which the ongoing strike action is premised.“For the avoidance of doubt, the demands of our Union are the conclusion of the renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement, abrogation of the fraudulent and corrupt IPPIS scheme and the deployment of UTAS, payment of promotion arrears, the proliferation of State Universities and governance issues amongst others.

“United we bargain! Divided we beg! A people united can never be defeated. Solidarity forever,” it read. SaharaReporters had reported that ASUU had on February 14, during its National Executive Committee meeting in Lagos announced a four-week rollover strike which began on February 15, following the Federal Government’s failure to meet its demands.The National President of ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, said since the last meeting the union had with the federal government in December 2021, it had not received any formal invitation from the government.

Very painful update

Some will come into conclusion that, 90% Nigerians are corrupt, and quick to commit crime. Though the statistic might be wrong, but with just 10% of Nigerian who are not into crime or evil practice, Nigeria can still be great. If you are among the 10% follow AGreatNigeria3 now

When teachers abuse privileges and treat their students horribly, how can the students who are now politicians listen to these teachers to give them their dues?. They obviously don't deserve any consideration from all indications.

Isn't it amazing the complete lack of synergy between lecturers & politicians. Didn't our leaders in government go through our Nigerian university so as to see lecturers as mentors. I mean how can a former student not hearken to the request of a teacher?

If ASUUNGR is in UK, USA etc, they would have been destroyed by now. Reason they(saner climes) don't even involve in education directly, all is in private hands. How can you be dictating to your employer how you should be paid? Did they allow that in their private businesses?

What is really the function of asuu in this country?

1 year to go I don tire

By the time you call it off students would have moved on with their lifes then you can lecture your members on how to be reasonable in negotiation.

They are about to call off niyen oo

I told you (FG) but you wouldn't listen! Even if you give ASSU N1trn today they would still ask for another thing

Nigeria public University may suffer same faith like our public Primary schools if ASUU remain unprogressive in their tactics.

Ungrateful union

Why soldiers' connivance with Boko Haram demands urgent actionsAt a moment when Nigerians are trying so hard to retain hope in the military to secure, protect and defend the nation against all forms of security aggressions, the latest news report of a senior intelligence military officer conniving with the Boko Haram sect is grippingly frightening—and as such, it should spur strong, decisive actions rather than the usual paper order and mere lamentations.
