The Academic Staff
Union of Universities (ASUU) has insisted that until certain conditions are met
by the Federal Government, its members will not return to work.
A
key condition, according to the striking lecturers, is that government must show
concrete evidence of the payment of at least N50 billion revitalisation fund.
Another
condition attached to the suspension of the strike is “the presentation of
concrete evidences of the payment of the promised N20 billion earned academic
allowances and showing how the balance of N85 billion will be paid with
timelines”.
ASUU
President Prof Biodun Ogunyemi spoke with reporters in Ibadan, Oyo State ahead
of today’s meeting between the union and government’s team.
Ogunyemi
added that the union’s members have said that only concrete implementation of
conditions by the government would make them return to the classrooms.
The
union also said it has lost confidence in government making promises, which it
would not keep to after agreements have been reached.
