ASUU to FG: You are insincere!

It is no small issue as the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) which at the weekend, did point an accusing finger at the Federal Government of insincerity in the implementation of the agreement it reached with the union in 2009.

According to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), they said that the government has not shown interest in addressing the problems of the Education sector in Nigeria.

ASUU went further to said that the Nigeria Federal government was feigning ignorance about the ASUU demands.

According to the National Convener, ASUU Committee on Human Rights, Dr Sola Olorunyomi, spoke on a Splash FM programme, “Voices”, monitored in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

Dr Sola said that ASUU’s leaders, who met with representatives of the Federal Government, were shocked when the government feigned ignorance about the strike and its agreement with the union some years ago.

Dr. Sola did explained that it was only when the representatives were shown the government’s signature on the document that the reality dawned on them.

According to Olorunyomi, he said that:

“We are resolute this time.
We are prepared to go hungry, you can’t believe that the people we met first feigned ignorance about the agreement they had with ASUU.
It was not until our team brought out the memorandum of agreement and then some of them saw their signatures. It was a drama of sorts. But you can only have that in Nigeria.”
