The academic staff union of university is set to call off
its 6 months old strike in the next 1 week after the Union and the federal
Government signed an agreement
The agreement was signed by the parties at the Ministry of
Education which had the supervising Minister of Education Nyesom Wike present
as well as Asuu chairman Nasir Fagge and his executives
After the Marathon meeting of 13 hours between Asuu and the
Federal Government, most persons believed the strike was over but Asuu claimed
that there were some other issues that were left to be agreed on by the parties
The Federal Government thus in response paid 200bn into the
Central bank to show its commitment however, to Asuu this gesture was not
enough as they wanted the agreement to be signed by the parties
The agreement has however finally been signed by the parties
meaning that Asuu should call of the strike, however Asuu chairman made it
known that they have to communicate with their members before the strike will
be called off
In an Interview with pressmen he made it clear that within one
week the strike will be called off and normalcy can return to our Academic
sector. He however made it known that they do not hope to continue with the strike
but if the Federal Government relents as they did in 2009 they will be forced to
pick off with the strike
We all hope Asuu keeps to their word
