ASUU Issues New Strike Threat Due to Government’s Failure to Implement Agreements
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has indicated that a strike is not imminent if the Nigerian government implements the agreements reached within the next two weeks.
ASUU President Prof Emmanuel Osodeke emphasized in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria that none of the agreements with the Federal Government have been put into effect.
He stated that after a recent meeting with the Minister of Education, it was agreed to reconvene in two weeks to assess the government’s progress.
Osodeke highlighted longstanding issues such as the non-implementation of renegotiated agreements since 2009, unpaid academic allowances spanning over six years, and the inadequate release of revitalization funds meant to enhance university standards.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
