The ASUU Strike Update – Affects Universities

The ASUU strike has entered the second month. The union has embarked on a nationwide movement to end the strike. The union’s national president, Nnamdi Azikiwe, has urged all workers to return to work and resume their normal duties, stressing that the union would not be deterred from its struggle by any attempt at intimidation or blackmail. Azikiwe said the union was facing a challenge from several quarters including employers and government who were trying to destabilize it for selfish reasons.

The ASUU president assured members that the leadership of the union would never allow anything to happen to them because they were determined to win their rights through peaceful means.

ASUU Strike Day 4: Management Attempts to Break Stalemate

As the students of ASUU strike enters its fourth day, the management of the University is yet to reach any agreement with the union. Despite several attempts by various stakeholders to resolve the crisis, they have all failed so far. The management and the University Senate are yet to come up with a solution that addresses all demands of the students. The situation on campus is tense as both sides remain adamant in their standpoints. The University Senate has been firm on its position that it will not budge from its stand that ASUU should withdraw its unilateral strike call and resume academic activities immediately. The management on the other hand has also remained firm in not relenting on its demand that ASUU should end their strike and return to classes immediately.

In an effort to ease tensions, Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Ibrahim Kwame Nkrumah has called for talks between both sides but it was rejected by ASUU who said that it will only meet with those responsible for the current crisis which according to them are those who supported a unilateral strike call instead of going back to class immediately like what they were called upon to do by all stakeholders concerned including government and parents who have been waiting for them all this while.

The students of ASUU University have been on Strike for 10 days

The students started a sit-in at the university’s main gate on Monday, March 19th. They demanded that the vice chancellor, Prof. Jide Gasim, should resign over his inability to control the situation on campus and make immediate changes in the academic calendar. The students also called for an end to what they described as “excessive” security measures at the university.

On Wednesday, March 21st, they embarked on an indefinite hunger strike after their request to hold a meeting with the VC was turned down by him. The students warned that they would not end their protest unless he resigned or gave them an assurance that all outstanding demands would be met within 48 hours, including the immediate implementation of their resolution passed last year calling for annual fee reduction from N4 million to N2 million and abolition of all examination fees (except for those payable by tuition). Meanwhile, protests were staged across Nigeria from Calabar to Lagos as well as elsewhere in other states such as Edo and Ekiti were.
