University
teachers are spoiling for another strike over their 2001 agreement with the
Federal Government.
They
said unless the government implements the agreement next month, they may
cripple the university system again.
The
teachers urged parents, and especially students to hold the government
responsible for whatever happens after the November 22 date agreed for the
implentation of the agreement.
After
an emergency National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Abuja, yesterday, the
Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) resolved to battle government over
what the union described as its lack of commitment to reversing the decay in
the university system.
ASUU
President Prof. Ukachukwu Awuzie told reporters that the NEC meeting advised
clergies, traditional rulers, labour, Civil Society Organisations and labour to
intervene to avert the avoidable crisis.
