Strike: UNILAG Remains Close, Says ASUU Branch
BY DAYO ADESULU
The Lagos branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has vowed that its institution would remain under lock and key until the ASUU national body calls off the industrial action.
Contrary to reports from some quarters which he described as fake news, it said the branch of the union called off its strike.
ASUU-Unilag Chair, Dele Ashiru, in a statement issued on Tuesday, said: “RE: Purported Suspension of Strike By ASUU-UNILAG,” which reads in part, “The attention of the leadership of ASUU-UNILAG has been drawn to a fake and dubious news purporting that the ‘ASUU-UNILAG chapter gives up for the first time, votes for suspension of strike.’
“This is to inform the general public that the strike in UNILAG is still in force and there is no threat to it whatsoever.”
“ASUU-UNILAG is convinced that the strike action is a just and patriotic struggle to save the public university system in Nigeria from imminent collapse.”
“Our members should be rest assured that just as darkness cannot overshadow light, evil can never triumph over good.” Our cause is just. “Dare to struggle!” “Dare to win! “
