University lecturers yesterday reiterated their
commitment to the ongoing strike by the Academic
Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, saying not even the
attempt by the Federal Government to withhold their
salaries would stop them from continuing with the
strike action.
Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities,
University of Abuja chapter, Dr. Clement Chup, stated
in an interview that the Federal Government,
threatening to withhold their salaries, would not make
them abandon their cause.
“Yes, the non-payment of our August salary is another
attempt by the government to stampede us into
breaking the strike, and as usual, it will not work.
“Our next line of action is to continue with the strike.
We had, on July 2, commenced a total, comprehensive
and indefinite strike action, and as long as the
government does not meet our demand of
implementing the FGN/ASUU 2009 agreement, the
strike will continue,” Chup said.
He also described a section of the National Association
of Nigerian Students distancing themselves from the
strike as “politically motivated students.”
This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
