\n
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the anchor of the popular Human Rights Radio in Abuja, Ahmed Isah, have disagreed on the latter\u2019s crowdfunding campaign to end the prolonged strike by the university lecturers.<\/div>\n
\n
ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke,\u00a0 announced that the union would distance itself from the campaign and that its name should be removed.ASUU has been on strike since February and all efforts to make lecturers return to the classrooms have not yielded results.<\/p>\n

On Saturday morning, host of the radio programme, Ahmad Isah, popularly known as Ordinary President, invited ASUU president, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, and his team, to explain to Nigerians the perennial problems and state why the union is still on strike.<\/p>\n

Isah also said he had set up a special intervention bank account domiciled in TAJ Bank to raise funds for the union, with a view to ending the strike.<\/p>\n

Apparently to convince ASUU to buy into the idea of the intervention, Isah publicly showed the N50 million cash donated by Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State.<\/p>\n

Immediately the money was displayed, ASUU President frowned at the development, saying they should not be associated with such.<\/p>\n

At that point, Isah threatened to discontinue the intervention and many Nigerians who phoned in during the programme described ASUU as \u201dinsensitive\u201d.<\/p>\n

The striking lecturers\u2019 demands include, funding of the revitalisation of public universities, Earned Academic Allowances, University Transparency Accountability Solution (UTAS) and promotion arrears.<\/p>\n
