ASUU Strike: We’ve done all we can – FG
The Federal Government says it has done all it can to end the ongoing strike by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, said this on Tuesday, September 6, at a meeting with Pro-Chancellors and Vice-Chancellors of Federal Universities at the National Universities Commission (NUC) Abuja.
“In all, we have been doing, our guide has been the directive of Mr President Muhammadu Buhari, namely, that while the unions should be persuaded to return to work, government should not repeat the past mistakes of accepting to sign an agreement it will be unable to implement.
Government should not, in the guise of resolving current challenges, sow seeds for future disruptions. We have done the best that we can in the circumstance. After Inter-ministerial consultations and rounds of hard negotiations with all government agencies, we interacted with the Unions.
I personally, gave it all it required to resolve the current challenges. I met the Unions anywhere and everywhere possible with facts, with figures, and with absolute sincerity.”
It would be called that ASUU has been on strike since February 14, 2022.
