ASUU STRIKE: Federal Government (FG) and Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to Hold Another Crucial Meeting on 4th December, 2018

 

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, said on Sunday that ASUU, and the Federal Government (FG) will have another meeting on Tuesday 4th December, 2018.

He made this known in an interview with Punch correspondent, on Sunday 2nd December, 2018.

In his words: “The meeting last week Thursday was not too significant, but for the first time, the government was able to tell us what it will put on the table. We have another meeting on Tuesday and we are looking forward to it”.

Reacting to the,NO WORK NO PAY ISSUE  Ogunyemi said: “It is not a big issue really. We are not losing sleep over such a directive. This has been a recurring threat since the military era. We are making sacrifices for our children and for our children’s children. This struggle, for us, is not about bread and butter. If they want to sack us, we encourage them to go ahead and they will have the consequences.

“We saw the memo on no-work-no-pay as something that was bound to come. In fact, we would have been surprised if it didn’t come. The government has always been predictable in their handling of negotiations with us. But we are not deterred; we are fighting for quality education and for the interests of our children.”
