The Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has
suggested a way the Federal Government can end the lingering industrial action
embarked on by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.
Obi said the Federal Government should engage ASUU in
collaborative negotiations to end the lingering strike.
This was as the LP presidential candidate described the
prolonged industrial action as unacceptable.
In a series of tweets, the former Anambra State governor
lamented that the strike which commenced on February 14, 2022, has become
almost intractable to the disadvantage of Nigerian students.
Obi tweeted: “Our position is that the ASUU strike has
lingered for far too long. It is unconscionable, worrisome, and unacceptable
that FGN would allow such an industrial action to become almost intractable to
the detriment of our students.
“It’s time for FGN to engage in collaborative negotiations
with ASUU, and in good faith.”
This is coming at a time ASUU extended its six-month-old
strike indefinitely.
ASUU had taken the decision during its latest National
Executive Council, NEC, meeting in Abuja.
