On when the appellate court would hear the matter, Osodeke said no date has been fixed yet.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU has said it will not go back to the classroom.
ASUU was reacting to the federal government's directive to vice
chancellors of the nation’s public universities to reopen the schools
for resumption of academic activities.
The government, whose directive was contained in a circular by the
National Universities Commission, NUC, specifically tasked the
university managements to allow students to continue academic exercises.
Reacting to the directive, the National President of ASUU, Prof.
Emmanuel Osodeke, in a chat with Vanguard, said the FG was not talking
to his members.
He said, “We are not holding the keys to the campuses. We did
not shut down any university. Those who shut down the universities are
the ones who can decide to open them or not.
“As for us going back to work, the government is not talking to
us. We did not institute the case at the industrial court, some people
took us there and we have done the needful of exercising our right to
appeal,” he added.
On when the appellate court would hear the matter, Osodeke said no date has been fixed yet.
Meanwhile, the Congress of University Academics, CONUA, has said its members are ready to resume duty.
The National Coordinator, Dr Niyi Sunmonu, told Vanguard that his members were never on strike.
“We did not go on strike in the first instance and we were
working until the management of the universities shut down the
institutions. For instance, some of our members, including me, concluded
our workloads before the closure. We are only unhappy that our members
were lumped up with those who went on strike and our salaries were not
paid,” he said.
In a related development, non-academic staff who suspended their
industrial actions in August are yet to be paid their withheld salaries.
Findings by Vanguard showed that though they suspended their
actions for two months and subsequently resumed work, they were last
paid in March, this year.
Speaking in an interview, the Chairman of the Senior Staff
Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, the University of Lagos
chapter, Comrade Olusola Sowunmi, said his members expected that at
least a month’s salary be paid for easy commuting between homes and
their offices.
He added that the development had put his members in a tight corner.
SSANU, the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Allied
Institutions, NASU and the National Association of Academic
Technologists, NAAT, also went on strike last March but suspended action
for two months in August.
Recall that ASUU has been on strike since February 14 following
alleged refusal of the FG to fulfill an agreement it entered with it in
2009. |
