Buhari’s govt notorious for reneging on agreements — ASUU

Academic Staff Union of Universities ASUU, has said the Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government was notorious for pulling back on its earlier agreement with the academic union.

ASUU also expressed doubt that the Federal Government has the will and capacity to end the crisis between it and the union, adding that the government was not sincere.

The Port Harcourt Zonal Coordinator of ASUU, Stanley Ogoun, in a statement in Port Harcourt, weekend, noted that the Federal Government’s alleged abandonment of draft renegotiated 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement affirms the doubt regarding the Federal Government’s commitment to ending the current strike.

Ogoun said the union was forced into the present strike on February 14, 2022, based on the refusal of the FG to honour the terms of the agreement, Memorandum of Action, MoA, which led to the conditional suspension of the last strike in December 2020.
