Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has accused federal government of not showing commitment in resolving the issues that engineered the ongoing industrial action.
The Abuja Zonal Coordinator of the Union, Professor Theophilus Lagi at a press conference held this morning at the University of Abuja campus, said that there is no hope in sight to ending or suspending the ASUU strike that has lingered for several months.
To that effect, he asked their members to seek other legitimate means of survival as the Government has not released salaries withheld since February 2020.
The Union also accused the Minister of Labour and Employment ,Dr Chris Ngige of showing disdain for Nigerian academics and has failed to play the role of an unbiased umpire in the case.
Professor Theophilus assured Nigerians that their members are relentlessly determined to continue with the ongoing strike untill their demands are met.
Earlier on 2nd November, 2020, ASUU , Abuja Zone, in a press conference, expressed dissatisfaction with the FG’s handling of the negotiation to resolve the faceoff occasioned by the government’s failure to implement the MoA of 2019 and the renegotiation of the 2009 agreement.
