The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has sent a message to the Federal Government.

It alleged that the federal government has failed to fulfill any of the agreements reached during previous negotiations.

ASUU President, Emmanuel Osodeke, stated that while the union had fulfilled its part of the renegotiation process, the government had yet to take any meaningful action.

According to reports, ASUU and the federal government had previously reached a tentative agreement after repeated warnings from the union about a possible strike if their demands were ignored.

However, providing an update, Osodeke revealed that aside from setting up a negotiation team, the government had made no tangible efforts to address the union’s concerns.

“It has been about two months now, and the government’s team has not come back to us, let alone sign a new deal. The implication of this development is that the political class does not care about any development in public universities,” he said.

According to Daily Sun, Osodeke lamented that despite over a year in office, the government had failed to permanently resolve any of ASUU’s longstanding demands.

“We are still telling the same old story, whereas the rich keep sending their children abroad to study and returning after studies to take up the so-called lucrative positions, especially in public establishments, leaving the children of the poor to continue to suffer,” Osodeke added.

ASUU has not dismissed the possibility of a strike if the government continues to ignore its commitments.
