[BREAKING] ASUU Strike Update Today: Drama As ASUU President Rejects N50m Intervention To End Exercise

ASUU Strike Update Today

Newsbreak reports that there was a mild drama when the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) rejected Berekete Family radio prgrammes’s intervention to end the ongoing strike.

ASUU has been on strike since February and all efforts to make lecturers return to the theatre halls have proved abortive.

On Saturday morning, host of the radio programme, Ahmad Isah, popularly known as Ordinary President, invited ASUU president, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, and his team, to explain to Nigerians the problems and state why the union is still on strike.

Isah also said he had set up a special intervention bank account domiciled in TAJ Bank to raise funds for the union, with a view to ending the strike.

Apparently, to convince ASUU to buy into the idea of the intervention, Isah publicly showed the N50 million cash donated by Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State.

Immediately the money was displayed, ASUU President frowned at the development, saying they should not be associated with such.

At that point, Isah threatened to discontinue the intervention and several Nigerians who phoned in during the programme described ASUU as “insensitive”.
