Asuu vows not to call ov strike

The striking university lecturers have vowed to
continue their five-month strike.
At a brief press briefing in Abuja on Monday, the
president of the Academic Staff Union of Universities,
ASUU, Nasir Fagge, told journalists that the strike
would continue until the union's demands were met
by the Federal Government. He said the union would
never be cowed.
"We shall bow only to what we, as academics, are
convinced would serve the interest of Nigeria and its
people – no matter their ethnic, religious or class
origins.
"This is where we stand. We shall never be cowed,"
Mr. Fagge said.
The Supervising Minister for Education, Nyesom
Wike, last week Thursday gave the lecturers a seven-
day ultimatum (till December 4) to resume work or
lose their jobs.
