We are resolute to get what public universities need from FG said by ASUU

 

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) says that its members remained resolute to get what public universities need from the Federal Government to survive and compete globally.

Prof. Ayo Akinwole, the Chairman of ASUU, University of Ibadan chapter, made the assertions on Monday in Ibadan.

Akinwole said that lecturers in public universities in Nigeria have been using their bloods to run public universities.

“Lecturers retain Nigerian public universities with their blood, but is it right for Nigerians to say they should die on the job? I am saying they are owing us over eight years verified earned academic allowances.

“Is it only ASUU that is on strike? Some sectors (research institutes) of the nation have been on strike for 13 months and the government has been paying their salaries.
