The University of Nigeria chapter of Academic Staff Union of Universities on Friday said its members would not resume work on Monday unless their demands are met.
The UNN-ASUU also had harsh words for the Minister of Education, Dr. Nyesom Wike, for issuing the order directing lecturers to resume work on Monday or get sacked.
The union, however, told THE PUNCH that it wouldn’t react officially to Wike’s order until President Goodluck Jonathan speaks.
“We have not heard from the President, so we cannot speak officially on the matter. It would be senseless to begin to react to a statement from Wike since he is a tout.
“What we would simply say is that, we don’t have any business with touts like Wike whose children are studying in Ghana, yet they (people in government) cripple the education system in Nigeria,” said Dr. Ifeanyi Abada, Chairman of UNN-ASUU.
Abada said Wike’s order cannot hold and vowed that ASUU would unleash terror if the minister attempts to carry out the order.
