The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has promised to execute its next plan if the federal government failed to meet its demands as contained in the agreements between the two sides in 2009.
Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, ASUU President made this known during a Town and Gown meeting at the African Hall in the University of Ilorin, Kwara state.
Ogunyemi said ASUU had agreements with the federal government which since 2009 are yet to be addressed, let alone honoured.
As attested by him, schools cannot be reopened unless the government showed responsibility and do the needfuls on the agreements between the two parties.
“I think we should wait. When we get to that bridge, we will cross it. I can’t open our strategy here; whatever you do is about strategy; let the government refuse to negotiate, we will unfold our strategy then,” the don stated.
Ogunyemi also professed that there is a deliberate attempt to kill university education in Nigeria as the government has refused to intensify its commitment to fund public education.
“There is a deliberate attempt to kill university education in the country. Some universities use stoves in their laboratories instead of burners and buckets to fetch water to perform experiments; it’s as bad as that,” the ASUU president interjected.
