Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has blamed the Federal Government for frustrating efforts to resolve issues that resulted in the ongoing strike embarked upon by the lecturers.<\/p>\n
ASUU National President, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, stated this on Politics Today, a programme aired on Channels Television.<\/p>\n
Ogunyemi claimed that the Federal Government has refused to take the necessary steps in addressing the strike action.<\/p>\n
According to him, the delay in adopting ASUU\u2019s preferred platform, the University Transparency and Accountability Solution, is one of the major reasons the strike has not been suspended.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cThe strike is still on as a result of the FG not taking the necessary steps. We gave them two weeks to address our five points demands.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe engaged the government but they were not forthcoming. They had a whole year to address those issues. They gave us positions that were not acceptable to our members.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring our first meeting, we thought they were almost resolving the issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat compounded the problem is the issue of IPPIS. We have said that it is a distraction. There is no university in the world that uses IPPIS.<\/p>\n
