 LAUTECH Has Benefitted From ASUU Struggle, We Will Not Suspend Strike – Lecturers Tells Makinde



Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) has disclosed that all public tertiary educational institutions are beneficiaries of the ASUU struggle.


The union has disclosed that it will not pull out of the ongoing strike because all public tertiary educational institutions are beneficiaries of the ASUU struggle.


It said any branch that breaks the strike will lose out on the benefits of the struggle including infrastructure development.


ASUU in a statement signed by its Chairman and Secretary Professors Biodun Olaniran and Toyin Abegunrin said their members have resolved to forge ahead with the strike.


“The university system is one (as regulated by the National University Commission). ASUU too is one. There is only one Chatter of ASUU with several Branches including LAUTECH Branch. Virtually all public tertiary institutions particularly public universities are beneficiaries of ASUU’s struggles in Nigeria.


“Currently, the responsibility of most state governments in Nigeria to the state-owned universities is limited to part-payment of monthly salaries. The responsibilities of capital projects have been completely abdicated and surrendered to Tetfund and Needs Assessments Project of ASUU’s struggles.” statement partly reads.
