The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has denied reaching an agreement with the Federal Government’s team to call off its strike on December 9, 2020.

In a statement on Wednesday, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, National President of ASUU, explained that the December 9 date forms part of the timelines for the actualisation of the various demands made by the union.
Besides, Ogunyemi said December 9, as claimed by Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, as resumption date, was set aside to actualise the release of the withheld salaries of ASUU members and not to call off the strike.
Part of the statement read: “The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has been inundated with enquiries on why the ongoing strike action has not been suspended.
“This was sequel to the widely reported claims by some government agents that all the demands of ASUU have been met and that the union agreed to suspend the strike action today, 9th December, 2020. Nothing can be farther from the truth!
“To put the records straight, the principal officers and trustees, who constitute the core of representatives of ASUU at negotiation meetings with the government, are not constitutionally empowered to suspend any strike action.
“Whatever comes out of an engagement with agents of the government is an offer which must be taken back to the branches through the various organs of the union.
“Views and perspectives on offers by governments are aggregated and presented to government agents as counter-offers.
“This trade union strategy of offer and counter-offer is continually deployed until the National Executive Council (NEC) of ASUU – consisting of all recognised chairpersons – finally approves what it considers an acceptable offer from the government. It is only then that any strike action by ASUU can be suspended.”
