The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), on Sunday insisted that it has not suspended the industrial action, which it started on Monday.
The body also stated that it will not resume activities across tertiary institutions, except the federal government accedes to the agreement it reached with it in 2009.
“The strike is still ongoing. We have not suspended or called-off the strike. Perhaps, before we do that, a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting must be held, then, the resolutions of the meeting will be made known to all chapters of the union,” ASUU Chairman, University of Lagos (UNILAG), Chapter, Dr. Karo Ogbinaka told Vanguard. “The indefinite and total strike will continue, except government meets our demands.”
The FG represented by Professor Ruqayyatu Rufain from the Ministry of Education, will meet with stakeholders in the industry on Monday. Vice Chancellors of Federal universities and their Governing Councils, together with interested Vice Chancellors of State and Private universities are expected to be in attendance.
