The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has reacted to ongoing rumour that it has reached an agreement with the federal government to suspend its ongoing strike on December 9, 2020.
The Union through its President, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi in a statement yesterday dispelled the claims stating that there was never an agreement with the government to suspend the strike.
“The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has been inundated with enquiries on why the ongoing strike action has not been suspended. This was sequel to the widely reported claims by some government agents that all the demands of ASUU have been met and that the union agreed to suspend the strike action today, 9th December 2020. Nothing can be farther from the truth!”
He said the representatives of the union do not have the right to call-off the industrial action as it must first meet with its various organs.
He asserted that the union would end the strike when the government meets all of its demands.
