The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, has said that the current administration has failed Nigerians, by allowing the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, to go on an indefinite strike.
The Minister who was reportedly close to tears, made this disclosure when briefing State House Correspondents, after the Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting, presided over by the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo.
“Very sad that I am here, and ASUU is on strike. Late last year, we had a meeting because ASUU gave one week notice of strike, and we were able to work out some agreement. I must confess government has not fulfilled its part of the bargain”, the Minister said.
“Even though we are unhappy that ASUU went on this strike without following due process and giving us good notice, the Lecturers took the decision to declare the strike, after deliberations at its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held at the University of Abuja, last weekend.”
Recall, that in a document titled: “Strike Bulletin No.1”, which was signed and issued by the ASUU President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, it was stated that said the strike was to be total and indefinite, whereby no form of academic activities, including teaching, attendance of any meeting, conduct and supervision of any examination at any level, supervision of project or thesis at any level, should take place at any of the nation’s Universities.
ASUU has also cautioned the Federal Government and political office holders, against politicising the strike, saying there was nothing political in asking for a full implementation of the 2009 agreement, and 2013 Memorandum of Understanding, MoU.
