‘Force Nigerian govt to resolve dispute with ASUU,’ Activist charges students

 Center for Human Rights and Social Justice (CHRSJ) chairman Adenii Alimi Sulaiman on Monday accused the federal government of forcing Nigerian students  to settle a dispute with the university's Academic Staff Union  (ASUU). 

ASUU launched a 30-day warning strike on February 14, accusing the federal government of failing to honor an agreement signed by both parties. Union demands include a review of faculty tenure every five years, revitalization of public universities, and implementation of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) as an alternative to the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS). Includes introduction. 41; other payment of membership dues. Called 

Sulaiman in a statement released Monday, he stressed that the government of President Mohammed Buhari has refused to deliver on promises to improve the country's education sector. The statement read: This has dashed the education promises made in the  2015 and 2019 presidential elections. 

“It is very disappointing that the APC government was able to continue its political activism into 2023 without resolving the blazing ASUU strike. 

“The ball is in the hands of the students. , I don't care because I educate all my children  in foreign countries and private universities 

“The future of our students is at stake. We should do everything possible to put an end to the ongoing labor dispute.”
