ASUU accuses FG as they failed to release N20billion as agreed

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has accused the

Federal Govt of failing to honor one of the agreements it entered with

FG before last year's six-month-old strike was called off.

FG had promised the release of N20billion at the beginning of every

quarter for infrastructural development of all Universities during its

negotiations with ASUU.

In a media parley with newsmen at the University of Ibadan yesterday,

the National Treasurer of ASUU, Dr. Ademola Aremu lamented the failure

of Government to honour agreements with ASUU..

"All the strike ASUU had embarked upon in this country were basically

because the Federal Government failed to honour agreements freely

entered with us. It is also sad that each time before we begin the

strike, we would give the government enough warnings and grace to make

them retrace their steps. But they always fail. We don't know why the

government is always unwilling to implement the documents signed by

their representatives. However, we will continue to fight for the

system because if the system collapses, we will collapse with it."



Lets hope this doesn't turned out to be another strik
