Another Strike in Sight?: ASUU Dissatisfied, Says All Their Demands Have Not Been Resolved

CURSORY: ASUU has revealed that it is not satisfied as most of its demands were not resolved, and states the real reasons the strike was suspended.

Following the suspension of ASUU’s 8 months strike, the union has expressed dissatisfaction at how its demands were resolved, stating that most of its demands were not taken care of.

The union in a statement signed by its president, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, said the issues in its disputes with the federal government were not well addressed, The Punch reported.

According to the union, the strike was suspended because it is law-abiding and does not want to flout the National Industrial Court and the Court of Appeal orders on resumption.

ASUU added that the strike was suspended in deference to appeals made by President Muhammadu Buhari and in recognition of the efforts of the Speaker of the House of Reps, Femi Gbajabiamila, and other well-meaning Nigerians.

“While appreciating the commendable efforts of the leadership of the House of Representatives and other patriotic Nigerians who waded into the matter, NEC noted with regrets that the issues in dispute were yet to be satisfactorily addressed.

“However, as a law-abiding union and in deference to appeals by President Muhammadu Buhari, and in recognition of the efforts of Hon. Gbajabiamila, and other well-meaning Nigerians, ASUU NEC resolved to suspend the strike action embarked upon on February 14, 2022. Consequently, all members of ASUU are hereby directed to resume all services hitherto withdrawn with effect from 12:01 on Friday, October 14, 2022,” the statement read in part.
