Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said its National Executive Council will meet at the University of Lagos on February 12 and 13.<\/p>\n

According to the union, if nothing is done by the Federal Government by then, the lecturers would embark on strike.<\/p>\n

ASUU is demanding that the Federal Government implements the Memorandum of Action it signed with the union last year.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of the Kwara State University branch, Malete, Dr Salau Sheu, claims the government is avoiding its responsibility by asking ministers to oversee the implementation of the MoA.<\/p>\n

Sheu said, \u201cIt is wrong for President Muhammadu Buhari to assign two ministers to oversee the implementation of the Memorandum of Action signed last year with ASUU.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, the assigned ministers are not part of the agreement. Only the ministers of Finance and Education were part of the agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cASUU is having its National Executive Council meeting at the University of Lagos on February 12 and 13.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf nothing is done by the government between now and then, the lecturers may go on strike.\u201d<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that ASUU shut down academic activities in public universities in March 2020, until December when the Memorandum of Action (MoA) was signed with the Federal Government.<\/p>\n
