ASUU Says Jonathan Is A Joker, Insists Threat Can't End Strike
the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, one week
ultimatum to call off the ongoing strike or risk mass sack.
The directive was given on Thursday on behalf of the
government, in Abuja, by the acting Minister of Education,
Nyesom Wike.
But in a swift reaction, ASUU rubbished the threat by the
Jonathan Government to sack any lecturer who fails to
report back to school on December 4, 2013. While
condemning the threat, ASUU said:
"It is a pity if the federal government is not willing to
perfect the resolutions reached with union. This is
why we find it difficult to trust our leaders by their
words . How can someone be threatening to sack
lecturers when universities are already short-
staffed by almost 60,000? We are not in Military
era. The Military tried it and failed. This one will fail
again."
The union added that the threat latest will not only fail but
worsen the situation and "make the strike linger more than
necessary."
With this threat, ASUU said it is now very clear that the
Federal government was not ready to implement any of the
resolutions it reached with the union
