The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) said the federal government has yet to resolve a single issue among their demands after both parties agreed to resolve their differences.
Expressing disappointment, ASUU President Emmanuel Osodeke stated that the union had concluded its own part of the renegotiation and was waiting for feedback from the government.
ASUU and the federal government managed to find common ground following consistent threats by the union to embark on strike action if its demands were not met.
Sharing an update, Osodeke disclosed that apart from the negotiation team it constituted to address ASUU’s demands, the government had done nothing.
“It has been about two months now, the government’s team has not come back to us, let alone sign a new deal and the implication of this development is that the political class does not care about any development for the public university.
“No single issue has been permanently resolved by this government since assumption which is more than a year now out of all issues about our agreements.
“So, in education, we can boldly say as a union that nothing has changed.
“We are still telling the same old story, whereas, the rich keep sending their children abroad to study and returning after studies to take up the so-called lucrative positions, especially in public establishments leaving the children of the poor to continue to suffer,” Osodeke said.
