Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has lamented over the poor condition public universities lecturers are returning to classrooms after suspension of the strike that lasted for eight months.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
ASUU had been on strike from February 14 until October, one of the longest industrial actions by the union, during which the federal government withheld their salary based on \u201cNo Work No Pay\u201d policy.<\/div>\n
In an interview with Channels TV, Osodeke, said the strike was suspended in obedience with the law despite absence of any signed agreement between them and the federal government.\u201cAs you can see from our press release through which we announced the suspension of the strike, we are obeying court orders, as we are a law abiding union. No agreement was signed. We hope the intervention of the Speaker of the House of Representatives will be holistic and all issues resolved as they should be.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further said that lecturers are not happy because they were forced to return to classrooms while they\u2019re impoverished and owing loans.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can members be happy when they were practically forced to go back to work without issues trashed out and demands met? The best option for resolving issues like this is negotiation, but that was not done.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t railroad people that way. Our members will go and teach, but getting a man who is hungry, who is indebted, who is owing banks loans because his salary was not paid to be happy to teach is another thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
