ASUU update
On
the strike by university lecturers, ASUU, he said
that negotiation was being intensified on all
contending issues with a view to resolving them
amicably, therefore appealing to ASUU to call off
its strike.
Despite the assurances of payment, the unions say
they have resolved to embark on the planned
indefinite strike, beginning from Tuesday, seventh
of July.
The organisations include the Federal Radio
Corporation of Nigeria, Nigeria Television
Authority, Voice of Nigeria and the News Agency of
Nigeria.
‘Our stand’
The State Council Chairman of RATTAWU, Mr. Adedeji
Okuboyejo said that the action became necessary
after government had failed to honour its promise to
pay the arrears by the second quarter of the year.
Mr. Okuboyejo regretted that strike was the only
option left since various measures had failed to
achieve any positive result.
