ASUU Says It Can't Take Jonathan's Promises, Strike Continue

The Academic Staff Union of Universities said it would not call off the ongoing
indefinite strike because of the mere promise made by the Goodluck Jonathan led
Federal Government to provide revitalisation fund for the university system across
the country.
ASUU queried what has happened to the promises they got from President
Jonathan before.
The union also stated that the existence of the National Universities Commission
has not brought improvement to the standard of education in the country. It
therefore called on the National Assembly to investigate the activities of NUC with a
view to determining the continued relevance or otherwise of the university
supervisory body.
If found irrelevant, ASUU said NUC should be scrapped immediately.
Chairman of ASUU, University of Ibadan chapter, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, who spoke
in Ibadan noted that the NUC boss, Prof. Julius Okojie, had concentrated the effort
of the university regulatory body on quantity rather than quality.
Dr Ajiboye said, “Okojie should take full responsibility for all his deeds in the NUC.”
