ASUU Strike: Chairman hopeful of ending impasse
Umuahia - Dr Uzochukwu Onyebinama, Chairman, Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU), Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike,
in Abia, on Sunday expressed the hope that the five-month strike by the
union would end soon.
Onyebinama, in a statement made available
to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Umuahia, expressed the hope that
Monday’s parley between the leadership of ASUU and the Federal
Government would proffer solution to the impasse.
“As the
national leadership of our union meets with President Goodluck Jonathan
on Monday, we hope that the meeting will be a dialogue that will lead to
a mutually acceptable fair and far reaching solution,” he stated.
He,
however, insisted that the solution should be “within the context of
the implementation of the 2009 agreement, the 2012 MOU and the
recommendations of the Needs Assessment Report”.
“Any proposal by government should be based on a clear acceptance of a framework for the implementation of the 2009 agreement.”
“Any imposition will not present a solution to the current crisis,” Onyebinama said.
