ASUU STRIKE UPDATE :- No More Dialogue: Strike Continues” – ASUU Declares

It has been reported that Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU)
National President Dr. Nasir Faegehas declared that the strike will continue.
He also revealed that the union has decided to cease to negotiate with the
Benue State Governor Gabriel Suswam’s committee, saying that the
committee has nothing to deliver.
He says:

“The strike continues even if government is threatening to do the worst. There
is no more dialogue with government, if the 2009 agreement is not approved.
But we are willing to dialogue with anybody towards meeting ASUU’s said
agreement. That is the truth.
“Our doors are open towards addressing these problems. If anybody invites
us, we will be there. The only dialogue that we will not attend is that with the
Suswam committee. ASUU has vowed not to listen to that committee again.
The struggle is on and we are waiting and hoping that government will do what
is right so that we will go back to our classes and start lecturing.
“Many students have been calling me in support of the ASUU strike and they
want government to listen to us and that we should not call off the strike until
the 2009 agreement is met. The condition of the universities is nothing to
write home about.”
Responding to the ‘no-work no-pay’ declaration made by the federal
government, the ASUU boss said:
“The Federal Government has not been paying. That statement is not
applicable now since we have been working without pay.”
