| Asuu president, Prof Emmanuel Osodoke |
The Academic Staff Union of Universities has
outlined the steps the federal government must take to end its
six-month-long academic strike.
Edublogupdate gathered that when Prof Emmanuel Osodoke was speaking on a program held by the Channels Television called Politics Yesterday, He said the government must exhibit transparency.
"Government should tell us and Nigerians - the money that has been alleged to have been approved for revitalisation - how much is it and where is it
lodged? When will it be released?" Prof Osodeke
said.The university don added that the government must clearly state its position on the University don s Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS), a
payroll system which ASUU wants as a replacement for the Integrated Payroll and Personnel information system (IPPIS).
"Three, have they accepted the agreement we reached with their panel? They should come and tell us this, and not go to the press," Prof. Osodeke said.
The ASUU President accused the Federal
Government of appealing to sensibilities rather than solving the issues raised by the union.
"Strike is a symptom of a problem," Prof Osodeke said. "Any day you sort out that problem, you will not
have strike."
