After meeting with management, ASUU still insists on No Resumption
I talked to the western region zonal coordinator of ASUU, Dr. Ade Adejumo, today about the latest on ASUU's stance regarding the strike, and precisely, the outcome of the Union's meeting with the school management on Monday. However, the answer I got was far from exciting.
“Nothing has been offered to us,” Dr. Adejumo said, explaining that the union is still yet to receive the six months salary arrears promised by Oyo and Osun state government as their means of resolving the strike.
"We are still where we were when we started the action.”
He told the president of Union of Campus Journalists, LAUTECH, Busari Azeezat in a separate interview ASUU's agitation goes beyond salaries. “We need a sustainable way to run the institution.”
Reacting to the school management's call for students to return to school, Dr. Adejumo advised parents, "Do not let the government deceive you into sending your children back to school."
I reached out to the school PRO, Lekan Fadeyi, for comments but he said he was not at the meeting with ASUU on Monday. He referred me the Registrar, however, I haven't been able to reach him.
I'll keep updating this post as I get more information, so keep checking back.
Meanwhile, I and the president of the Union of Campus Journalists, Busari Azeezat, are looking into Senate president Bukola Saraki's recent claim that his "intervention" aided the reopening of LAUTECH.
We're also following up on the N9,154,189.15 that has been croundfunded by the FundLAUTECH group.
