Why FG is rushing us to resume – ASUU reveals, gives update on strike
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said that the fear of another #EndSARS protest in the country forced the federal government to resume negotiation with its members over the lingering strike.
TheCable reports that while addressing journalists at the campus of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) on Friday, November 7, ASUU coordinator for Akure zone, Olu Olufayo, accused the federal government of insincerity.
He wondered why the federal government had to wait till the unrest triggered by the recent protest aimed at ending police brutality before resuming negotiation with the union.
Olufayo also accused the federal government of attempting to blackmail, adding that the union will not bow to pressure until its demands are met.
He said:
“Our students have stayed at home for too long; they have been at home for almost a year now. Don’t forget we didn’t send them home. We embarked on strike before the advent of coronavirus.”
