ASUU said members had resolved to forge ahead with the strike and pursue it to a logical conclusion, which “is imminent.”

The union said government should not see students as a target of the strike but as beneficiaries of ASUU strike as the intervention of most state governments in terms of subvention had been used as part-payment of salaries.

They further noted that lecturers were very sensitive to the plight of the students but that the government should thank the union for the struggle which had helped in training its members in human capacity Development through TETFUND grants. (NAN)
