ASUU strike continues indefinitely
The Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) has condemned in strong terms the failure of the
South-Eastern states governments to meet its demands, and affirmed that
the ongoing strike in the affected states’ universities would continue
indefinitely.
The president of the union, Ukachukwu
Awuzie, made the condemnation in Abuja, saying that it was regretable
that proper teaching environment and materials were lacking in the
universities.
“Our demand has nothing to do with
salary, but the lack of good teaching environment and infrastructure.
We declared the industrial action almost three months ago, and since
then, nothing has been done to meet our demands,” Mr. Awuzie said.
He explained that as a result of the ‘insensitivity’ of the state
governments to the plight of the union, some of the lecturers had
started leaving for other universities.
