The party cautioned the governor against wielding same stick used on the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) chapter of the state-owned university at Anyigba.

The strikes showed our poor capacity as a nation to hold or sustain continuity in the reins of leadership in our polity. It is also indicative of apathy to issues that concern the generality of the people.

Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, ASUU President announced this at a news conference after the closed door meeting with the Federal Government on Monday in Abuja.

The plot, the unions said, would follow the pattern of the state government’s proscription of the Kogi State University (KSU) chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

For ASUU, the deal comes with a pay bump, but crucially a deal which will serve as the basis for a future strike. And so, the cycle continues.

According to a statement by the Governor’s Spokesman, Mr Samuel Aruwan, the KASU branch of ASUU confirmed that the branch had joined the nation-wide strike as full members of the national union.

Also, speaking, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, ASUU President, said that government and ASUU had reached an agreement on their demands with the Federal Government.
