The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has accused the Federal Government of causing difficulties for its members despite their attempts to follow the laws of Nigeria.
This accusations was put forward by ASUU’s leadership. During a press conference in Makurdi on Wednesday, October 2, Raphael Amokaha, the Zonal Coordinator for ASUU’s Nsukka Zone, expressed that the government has persistently neglected the union’s demands.
Amokaha mentioned that the government has consistently obstructed the union’s progress on matters concerning the renegotiation of the 2009 ASUU/FGN agreement.
Amokaha said, “ASUU-Nsukka Zone wishes to state in clear terms that if the government of the day frustrates our union into industrial action, then the government must be held solely responsible for such a crisis.
“Consequently, all appeals for an amicable resolution at that time should be directed at the government and not our union.”
