Asuu Strike Update: Presidential Aspirant Vows to End Perennial Strike if Elected

 

Mrs Ruby Isaac



A presidential aspirant on the platform of the Young Progressives Party, Mrs Ruby Isaac, has pledged to work toward ending the perennial Academic Staff Union of Universities’ strike in the country.

Isaac said this on Tuesday at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja when she spoke with newsmen.

She also promised to salvage dysfunctional public institutions in the country, saying that quality and functional education was a catalyst for national development.

“It is shameful to see education stakeholders who have not performed well now vying for elective positions while the system suffers and youths suffer longevity in studying short-term courses as a result of their insensitivity and selfishness.

“Nigerian leaders deliberately ignored proffering solutions to the nations problem because of greed, selfishness and self-service.

“But if I am given the opportunity to serve in the capacity of the president, I will ensure that identified problems that hinder national progress such as ASUU strikes would be given permanent solutions.

“I will also ensure that children of elected public officers are made to school within the country and not outside the country,” she said.

She added: “This is one major way to end a dysfunctional educational system, because no elected officer would sit back and watch his or her child remain in school for so long.”

She promised to strive hard to reduce to the bare minimum the number of out-of-school children in the country.

ASUU NEC extends rollover strike by 12 weeks The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) early Monday morning extended the ongoing strike by 12 weeks. The decision was taken at an emergency National Executive Council (NEC) held at ASUU Secretariat in Abuja. The emergency meeting, which had in attendance principal officers and branch chairmen, started on Sunday and ended early Monday morning. The two month rollover strike declared in March 14, 2022 by ASUU ended today (May 9th), thus NEC felt the need to extend it by 12 weeks after initial agitation for indefinite strike because of failure to address the issues in contention. The implication of the extension of the strike is that public universities would remain close. At the last meeting with government negotiation team led by Prof. Nimi Briggs, ASUU officials worked out but there is indication that the both parties would meet next week. ASUU’s demands include the non-implementation of the Memorandum of Action (MoA) signed with gov...

  ASUU Strike: Shut Down Everything, Sowore Urges Nigerian Students An activist  and presidential aspirant, Omoyele Sowore, has advised students affected by the Academic Staff Union of Universities’ strike to express their frustration with the lingering industrial action by “shutting down everything with mass action.” Sowore was reacting to the announcement by ASUU to embark on a fresh 12-week roll-over strike on Monday. He took to his Twitter page to advise the affected students to come together and teach “inhuman” political leaders a big lesson, until the higher institutions are well-funded. “Nigerian youths/students must teach these inhuman political rulers playing Russian roulette with their future a BIG lesson. “Let the organising start now, shut down everything with mass action, stop everything until our higher institutions are well funded #WeCantContinueLikeThis. “They’re doing this because their kids don’t attend Nigerian universities! #Revolutionnow!,” he wrote.
