The chairman of the union, Dr. Theopholus Lagi, stated this after the union’s emergency meeting in Keffi, saying it was frustrating that government and the management of the university could not honour the agreement reached before the suspension of the strike. He said, if by Friday their three months outstanding salaries was not paid to them, they would reconvene to decide on what action to take as agreed upon by the congress. “But for now, our ears are still open to their response and if for any reason the management failed to pay us, ASUU would take an action that it will shock the management.” Meanwhile, the authority of the university was hopeful that before this week runs out, the academic staff of the institution would be paid all their outstanding salaries. The Public Relation Officer of the university, Mr. Jamil Zakari, who confirmed this to our correspondent, said that, the management was doing its best to get money from the state government, assuring that, once that was done, they would be paid their entitlement. He appealed to the union to consider the negative part of strike, as embarking on another action would further affects the academic calendar of the university with its attendant negative consequences. Mr. Zakari noted that, now that academic activities have fully taken effect after a prolong strike, allowing ASUU to embark on another strike would be disastrous, “that is why effort is on by the management to settle the matter ones and for all in order not to disrupt academic activities”, he added.]]>
