•Pledges judicious use of funds.
•FG won’t renege on promise, says Wike.
President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Nasir
Fagge, has said his union has learnt some useful lessons in the just
suspended industrial dispute with the Federal Government.
“One lesson is that the union as a body of intellectuals has learnt to carry the public along in its struggles.
“It is the knowledge of truth that ensured that the public, students,
their parents, and other well meaning Nigerians stay with us, supporting
us, to ensure that what we were asking for was given to us,” Fagge told
Daily Independent in a telephone interview shortly after the press
conference where the six-month-old strike by the lecturers was formally
called off.
The union suspended the industrial action after its National Executive
Council (NEC) meeting which ended at the permanent site of the Federal
University of Technology (FUT), Minna.
The ASUU also called on the Joint Admission and Matriculations Board
(JAMB) to prevail on some universities to conduct admission exercises
for candidates who may have missed out due to the strike action by union
members.
