A counselling psychologist in the Department of Educational Foundations, University of Lagos, Prof Ngozi Osarenren, said the government has a total contempt ...

Another SAN, Prof Sam Erugo, said, ‘’Those pushing for ASUU in state universities to break the strike are either ignorant of the nature of collective bargaining or do not wish ASUU as a body, and its members in state universities well. “Remember during a Sallah visit to the President in Daura, Mr President appealed to ASUU and said that ASUU should be mindful about the future of the next generation. He said, “Education is not just a pillar in one of our THEMES agenda, it is one of the major dividends of democracy and the cardinal objectives of any government. He stated,’’The participation of the lecturers in state universities in the industrial action is not illegal. Those are the three trajectories of the functions of a lecturer. In my letter of appointment, the functions of a lecturer are teaching, research and community service. Also, a lecturer at the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Dr Gbolahan Bolarin in a separate interview with The PUNCH said, “The government failed woefully and that is the reason we are where we are now. He said, “The government has yielded to all the demands of ASUU. “Have they addressed the issue of why we are on strike? But ASUU president, Emmanuel Osodeke, said university lecturers deserved to be paid for the period they were on strike. He, told one of our correspondents that from all indications, public university students had lost a session to the strike. The government say they have agreed, but we don’t even know what was agreed on or the area of agreement.”

FACT CHECK: Has FG met 80% of ASUU's demands as education ... (Daily Trust)

He said, “For the avoidance of doubt, however, none of the issues that forced our Union to resume the suspended strike as listed in the December 2020 FGN-ASUU Memorandum of Action (MoA) has been satisfactorily addressed by the government to date. Reports attest to the fact that the issues had been largely unaddressed. The post reads: “ASUU STRIKE UPDATE!! Today, we're asking that you support us to do more. Learn more about our membership [here](https://membership.dailytrust.com/faqs/) “You cannot allow one sector of the economy to hold you by the jugular and then blackmail you to go and borrow N1.2 trillion for overheads when our total income would be about N6.1 trillion. Every day, we work hard to provide readers such as you with the most accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive information. Up till now, there has been no record of a fruitful meeting between Adamu and ASUU. Also, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. From 1999 till date, ASUU had embarked on strike for a record 16 times. Though Prof Nimi Briggs-led committee had concluded its work and submitted a report to the government for action, there is however no evidence that the report has been signed and implemented.
