Metro Outcome of Latest Meeting Between ASUU and FG

[LequteMan]

The latest meeting between the federal government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, ended in a deadlock on Thursday.

In his opening remark, Labour Minister, Chris Ngige, accused ASUU of not following the proper procedure before starting the strike.

“There must be a mandatory letter of 15 days to labour, to education before going on strike,” he said, referring to the ministries of labour and education.

“All agreements are supposed to be domiciled in ministry of labour in order to track implementation as agreement gives room to renegotiation,” Mr. Ngige.

Responding ASUU president, Biodun Ogunyemi, said Mr. Ngige had taken side with his education colleague, Adamu Adamu, and that ASUU informed relevant ministries before embarking on strike.

“There was a letter dated July 10 to inform the major stakeholders. In the last 10 months, we’ve written 10 letters trying to reach out to relevant stakeholders after suspending the seven days warning strike in November last year,” he said.

“This is not a fresh action and we are open to suggestions.”

The meeting later went into a technical session.

In the end, the ASUU chairman said the strike continued and that the union would revert to the government next week.

Ngige is especially proud. He had a squirmish with banks earlier this year, ordering them not to sack workers to save cost.

Imagine if he was the president. People will be executed because they have mouth odour.

I wonder ooo. Everything about this government is force and he wants to take advantage of it. He is not even bigger in stature than those he always wants to command. For physical strength, he got zero.
