The latest ASUU Strike news update is that members of ASUU have vowed to continue the ongoing strike. The federal Government has earlier threatened to sack all lecturers who refused to resume on 4th December 2013. The ultimatum was later shifted to 9th December, 2013.
The striking lecturers have now said they are unmoved by this empty threat and vow to continue the strike. There are also reports in some quarters that FG is under pressure to rescind the sack threat.
Striking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Sunday vowed not to resume work despite the federal government’s ultimatum that they should do so by today or risk losing their jobs.
The federal government had last week shifted the deadline for the resumption of the teachers, who have been on strike since July from last Wednesday to today.
However, the union has remained adamant, insisting that its members would not go back to work, despite the threat as the government is not towing the line that would resolve the crisis.
The union again added that it would not resume work until its demands as agreed with President Goodluck Jonathan at the November 4 meeting are all met.
