We won’t go back to class, until govt implements agreements –ASUU

As the indefinite strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities continues, the union said it will not call it off until its demands to the government are met.

ASUU embarked on a nationwide strike, which has reportedly grounded academic activities in about 80 federal and state universities across the country, over the failure of the Federal Government to implement the 2009 agreement between the two parties.

But the President of ASUU, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, told _Saturday PUNCH_ during the week that members of the union would not return to the class if the demands it had itemised to the government last November were not implemented.

Ogunyemi said the strike would end “when the government is ready to do the right thing as we spelt out during our engagement with the government at the National Assembly in November last year.”
