Feelers from the congresses that have met indicate that the unions were not ready to call of the strike because the government is yet to show the necessary commitment to their plights. For instance, in congresses held yesterday at the University of Ibadan, UI, and Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, EKSU, members of the union decided to continue with the strike action on the ground that the Federal Government’s offers are not acceptable to them. According to reliable sources, the staff are not comfortable with the fact that only about one of the seven dem

The ASUU President had on Friday said in an interview that he could not determine when the union would call off its strike until its members met to decide the next course of action.

THE National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has warned university teachers against embarking on  industrial action without prior notice.

NANS President, Chinonso Obasi, in a statement, yesterday in Abuja, insisted that lecturers must consult NANS before embarking on any strike in the future. Obasi said the decision was a fallout of the association’s  just concluded emergency Senate meeting held at the Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin. NANS, according to the statement,   demanded that the Federal Government should channel  the money recovered by anti-corruption agencies to the education sector in Nigeria to address some of the burning issues. “The meeting which was summoned to deliberate on

The meeting which started about 2:30pm on Wednesday lasted about twelve hours as the communique was ready about 3am Thursday.
