The Academic Staff Union of Universities on Tuesday said the ultimatum it issued in July did not elicit any response from the Federal Government. Between September 10 and September, 2021, all ASUU zones across the country held press conferences calling on the government to implement their demands. They also asked Nigerians to hold the Federal Government responsible if the university lecturers embarked on another strike. Responding to enquiries by The PUNCH on Tuesday, ASUU president said, “Nothing yet, not a single response from the government. The demands of ASUU, in the letter titled, ‘ASUU-EKSU position on government decision to reduce monthly subvention to EKSU for speculative reasons,’ signed by ASUU EKSU Chairman, Arogundade and Secretary, Dr Daniel Ogunwale, included “immediate reversal of monthly subvention to EKSU to N260 million”.
