The lingering ASUU strike continues as the Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) yesterday insisted that the ASUU strike will continue until its demands are met by the Federal Government. The calling off of the ASUU strike tomorrow was a total falsehood and misinformation, Dr Olusegun Ajiboye said in a statement in Ibadan.
Ajiboye stated that the passing of the 70-year retirement age was still a bill and would only become a law when approved by the President.
He listed other agreements, the constitution of university governing councils, payment of earned allowances and other welfare matters. All these must be reached before the strike could be called off. The Minister of Education, Professor Ruqquayatu Rufa’i, had expressed optimism that the strike would be called off this week. She said this while addressing the Committee of Vice Chancellors of the Federal Universities in Abuja, on Friday.
Dr Adewumi said the retirement age billed passed by the National Assembly was just a part of ASUU’s demand from the government. The union wants proper funding of the universities and also autonomy to allow them design and implement policies that will best suit them.

I think what ASUU and the federal governmant is doing is not good but to be Frank, ASUU should listen to the FG and stop being strong headed. They are just been selfish.

I guess ASUU is trying to prove they are not NLC or TUC,anyway,I guess they have suffered enough and the FG should for once take them serious,also ASUU should know one thing for sure,they can only meet some of their needs not all.
