The Academic Staff Union of Universities on Thursday announced its
disengagement from further negotiations with the Federal
Government, over what it describes as the latter’s perceived
insincerity in the 2009 agreement as well as the Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) both parties signed in January last year.
The union National President, Dr. Nassir Faggae Isa, said at a press
briefing held at the University of Lagos on Thursday that the 2009
agreement and the MoU must first be honoured, even if ASUU feels
the need to consider renegotiation with the government.
The union had embarked on a total strike on July 2 over government‘s
failure to honour the 2009 agreement.Faggae said, “Consequently, our
members are left with no other choice than to prosecute this strike to
its logical conclusion.
ASUU members nationwide are saying this striker will not be
suspended until and unless the government respects the 2009
agreement and makes concrete efforts to implement it in the best
interest of the country.
”According to him, during a meeting held between ASUU and the
government representative on Monday, government declared that it
neither had any motive to revitalize public universities through
committed funding, nor was it ready to pay in full the accumulated
Earned Academic Allowances between 2009 and 2013.
