The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, says the
Federal Government has the capacity to resolve the lingering issues within just
two days.
ASUU President, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, who spoke while
featuring on Arise TV programme, asserted that the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led government is not interested in meeting the demands of the union.
He slammed the Minister of Labour, Dr. Chris Ngige for
dragging the union to the National Industrial Court, NIC, while President
Buhari and other government officials are interacting with the union to resolve
the eighth-month strike.
He said, “All Nigerians can see that the government is not
interested in resolving the issues. Like I have said, these issues can be
resolved in just one or two days.
“But they are playing with everything. Why will a minister
of labour be going to court when the pro-chancellors are having interaction
with the president who promised to get back.
“If you force lecturers to class, how are you sure you will
have the best of teaching and research? This can be resolved in one day if the
federal government is interested”.
