The Vice President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Comrade Issa
Aremu has said both the Federal Government and members of Academic Staff
Union of Universities, ASUU, were both losers in the ongoing industrial
action embarked upon by the university lecturers.
Aremu who is also the General Secretary of National Union of Textile,
Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria, NUTGTWN, regretted that the
death of the former ASUU leader, Professor Festus Iyayi had caused a
major setback in the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC’s intervention in
resolving the face-off between ASUU and federal government.
Speaking to journalists yesterday in Ilorin, Kwara State, at the
Fidau for the late wife of the pioneer
Chairman, Independent Corrupt
Practices and other Related Offence Commission (ICPC), Hajia Akanbi,
Aremu pointed out that Nigeria cannot be among the top economies of the
world with her universities shut for over four months.
According to him, “We are all losers and the lessons from this is
that government should learn to keep and respect agreement reached
collectively. We can’t be part of the leading counties of the world when
we shut Universities for four months.”
