ASUU Strike: President Buhari Begs Lecturers To Call Off Strike And Consider Students

Nigeria's number one man, President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed to the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, to end the lingering strike. Buhari urged ASUU to consider the plight of the students and called off the industrial action. The President made the appeal at the 19th National Productivity Day Celebration and Conferment of National Productivity Order of Merit Award, held at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja.

He also urged the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, to exercise patience as the government tries to resolve the crisis. Buhari recalled his February 1 directive to His Chief of Staff, Ibrahim Gambari, the Ministers of Education and Labour and Employment, Adamu Adamu and Chris Ngige, respectively, to address the concerns of the striking aggrieved workers’ unions.

On Monday, ASUU has been on strike since February 20222. But ASUU on Monday extended its ongoing roll-over strike by another three months. The body is demanding funding for the revitalisation of public universities, the Earned Academic Allowances, the University Transparency Accountability Solution (UTAS) and promotion arrears. Others include the renegotiation and implementation of the 2009 ASUU-FG Agreement and the inconsistency in the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System.

Th truth is that even if ASUU considers the students,their own demands might still not be met.
So the best thing is that the government should meet their own demands,so that they will call it off and everybody will be happy

Sir I believe they will, if you will order all APC presidential candidates to return 50 million naira which can be used to offset the back log owed ASUU.
