The Academic Staff Union of Universities has vowed to continue with its almost two weeks strike over the non-implementation of agreements reached with the Federal Government.
Specifically, the Ibadan Zone of ASUU said it will not call off its strike until all its demands are met.
Rising from a meeting held at the University of Lagos, the Ibadan Zone of ASUU said the meeting with the leadership of the National Assembly and the Ministers of Labour and Education, Chief Emeka Wogu and Prof. Ruqayyat Rufai, had not persuaded them sufficiently about government’s willingness to meet their demands.
The Ibadan Zonal Coordinator, Dr. Adesola Nassir, told newsmen: “We as members of the ASUU Ibadan Zone, comprising University of Ibadan, University of Lagos, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Lagos State University, University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, and Tai Solarin University of Education, have resolved to remain on strike.
“This we are doing along with our other colleagues nationwide, for as long as it takes the government to be faithful to the implementation of the agreement and commence the process of renegotiating the 2009 agreement.
“This is not meant to inflict undue pains on our students, which also includes our members, wives and children, parents and other primary interests.”
