The Academic Staff Union of Universities has voted to embark on a month-long warning as the Federal Government is yet to meet its demands.
This comes after members of the National Executive Council on Sunday embarked on lengthy deliberations which dragged into the early hours of Monday.
Vanguard, quoting a source on Monday morning, reported that the union’s agitation is in the interest of all as members “cannot watch and allow the total collapse of education in the country.”
The statement read, “We just want to give the government a long rope hoping that it would see the need to avoid a total paralysis of academic activities in the nation’s universities.
“We are parents too and have our children in the system but we cannot watch and allow the total collapse of education in the country.
“Our agitation is in the interest of all and if the system is made better, we will all enjoy it.
“Prominent personalities in the country have waded into the matter but the government seems recalcitrant. Our National President would explain more when he briefs the press later today.”
