The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities,
on Tuesday, said it would not be subjected to blackmail by the Minister of
Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige.
The National President of the union, Professor Emmanuel
Osodeke, stated this during a media briefing with journalists in Abuja.
The union embarked on a strike on
Monday, February 14, 2022.
The strike entered its 155th day on Tuesday, July 19, 2022.
The president, Muhammadu Buhari, had on
Tuesday, mandated the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, alongside his
counterparts to end the lingering strike.
Speaking in Abuja, Osodeke said, “We will not be subjected
to the blackmail of the minister of labour. Ngige has continued to blackmail us
by churning out lies.
“They stopped our salaries thinking they will make us go
back to work. Let them sit down as directed by the president.
