ASUU THREATENS SANCTION TO NON-COMPLYING CHAPTERS


The Academic Staff Union of Universities has threatened to query universities that have failed to comply with its decision to remain on strike while negotiations with the Federal Government continue.




ASUU President, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Abuja.



recalls that ASUU had been on strike for the past five months to press home its demands.



The striking lecturers’ demands include funding for the revitalisation of public universities, Earned Academic Allowances, University Transparency Accountability Solution and promotion arrears.




Others are the renegotiation of the 2009 ASUU-FG Agreement and the inconsistency in Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System.



Available reports indicate that since the union embarked on strike, some of its members have pulled out of the ongoing strike to resume their academic activities.



Osodeke further stated, "we will punish those who pulled out from our ongoing strike in the appropriate way"



Osodeke also noted that since the last Tripartite Plus meeting called by the Chief of Staff to the President, Ibrahim Gambari, on the ongoing industrial action over a month ago, there has been no other meeting.


He said nothing concrete came out of the last meeting that was held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.


“We have not been called for any other meeting since that time and the government did not offer us anything, they just asked us to meet with the committee,” he said.
