ASUU accuses FG of delay in implementing agreement

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has condemned the foot-dragging  of the Federal Government towards  the implementation of the agreement  signed with the union two months ago.

The union accused  the Federal government of reneging on some of the agreements that led to the closing of the university for six months.

Speaking in Ibadan, the  National Treasurer of ASUU, Dr. Ademola Aremu said, that the Federal Government was yet to honour the agreement that N20 billion would be released at the beginning of each quarter to meet identified needs  in the universities .

Aremu said the attitude of the Federal Government towards implementing its part of the MoU was becoming disturbing to the union.


He stressed that the call was necessary  to avoid the embarrassment that the last strike caused the nation.
His words: “All the strike ASUU had embarked upon in this country were basically because the Federal Government  failed to honour agreements freely entered with us.

In his own comments,  ASUU chairman, UI chapter, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, said it was unfortunate that successive governments in Nigeria failed to learn from history as they always wait till major standoff with their members before doing the needful.
