The National President of Nigeria Labour Congress Abdulwaheed Omar
has stated that the ongoing Academic Staff Union of University ASUU
strike would soon be call off while advising security agents to device
new strategy to tackle the security challenges facing the country.
Omar speaking in the same vein with Niger State Governor Dr Muazu
Babangida Aliyu at the 10th Quadrennial Conference of the Nigeria Civil
Service Union in Minna, decried the impunity and use of security agents
to oppress people in Nigeria polity.
He stated that the NLC recognizing that ASUU is an affiliate body
held a meeting with the union on Monday and would present the position
to Vice President Namadi Sambo now leading the government negotiating
team. The NLC President said: “The ASUU strike is a matter of concern to
all of us, ASUU is an affiliate of NLC we held a meeting two days ago
for reaching an understanding, we are to meet the Vice President”.
He stated that the congress is hoping to bring both parties together
saying that “very soon ASUU strike will be history.” The NLC boss stated
that the strike has reached the level it was because government does
things with impunity “government signed an agreement and they said it
was previous administration, if government can inherit foreign reserves
from the previous administration while dodging the agreement reached by
the previous administration, government should fulfil its sides of the
bargain.”
