ASUU COMMENCE WARNING STRIKE ON 2ND OCTOBER, 2016.
ASUU To Commence Warning Strike On 2nd October 2016.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities has said that it would commence a warning strike on October 2, 2016.
A statement signed by, the Chairman, University of Abuja chapter of ASUU, Mr Ben Ugheoke stated that the Federal Government, had failed to embark on meaningful dialogue with the union.
The Union had at a recent news briefing accused the Federal Government of reneging on the 2009 agreement with the union. ASUU’s Coordinator, Abuja Zone, Doctor Theophilus Lagi, also said in the statement that the government had only implemented 30 per cent of the provisions of Universities Needs Assessment document.
He said that the fund was disbursed indiscriminately to university councils as a fall out of the six months industrial action the union embarked upon in 2009. Doctor Lagi urged the Federal Government to fully implement the 2009 agreement it reached with the union in order to avert another industrial action by the nation’s public universities.
The current issues in contention include funding of universities for revitalization in line with the Memorandum of Understanding the Federal Government and ASUU had signed in 2013.
