STUDENT'S UNION SUPPORTS FG POSITION ON ASUU STRIKE

The National Association of Kogi State Students (NAKOSS) on Sunday expressed support for the Federal Government's directive to the striking universities lecturers to resume work on Monday or be sacked.
President of ...
the association, Mr Shuaib Abubakar, expressed the
concern in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
in Lokoja .
He said that the strike was becoming ridiculous, adding that the union
welcomed the Federal Government's decision to sack the lecturers if
they refused to go back to work.
Abubakar explained that government could not meet all the lecturer's
demands at a time and urged other labour union leaders to persuade
ASUU to end the strike.
He also urged ASUU to go back to work in the interest of the students
and their future.
The student leader said that the strike had added extra year to the
programme of the affected students, adding that such situation was
frustrating.
He, however, expressed the hope that all the striking institutions
would resume on Monday in compliance with the government's
instruction.
NAN reports that ASUU began an indefinite strike on July 1, over non
implementation of 1999 agreements signed with the union by the
government. (NAN)

    Is today not Tuesday, how many lecturers have been sacked? The FG should learn from past experience. How can you sack ASUU members when you don't even have enough no of lecturers to teach d students? FG's threat is bound to fail. Secondly, members of ASUU were not directly employed by the FG and so it is not possible for govt to fire them. The lecturers were hired by individual varsities, and they have governing councils running the affairs. Wike, the Co-ordinating Minister for Education has been very combative and not diplomatic. His posture on d crisis will worsen matters if care is not taken. I will also like to counsel Jonathan to learn from history, as previous attempts by past governments, including the Military to intimidate ASUU members have always failed.
