Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) - Nsukka zone have called on the federal government to end its deliberate delays in concluding the renegotiation of the 2009 agreement to resolve all issues before expiration of the one month window. 

 

The Nsukka Zonal coordinator, Comrade Christian Opata, says the one month window given to the federal government to look at the agreement reached with ASUU to uplift the living conditions of academics in Nigeria would expires in a few days, urging them to judiciously use the time to reposition the education sector. 

 

 

Addressing journalists in company of branch chairmen of ASUU from eight different universities at the Benue State University Makurdi, the Zonal coordinator says the 2009 renegotiated agreement which the FG and ASUU entered is now over ten years as a result of government insincerity and failure to priorities education.

 

 While describing the working condition of lecturers and their take home as unacceptable, which he noted account for the major brain drain syndrome affecting university education in Nigeria, urges government to invest in education to save the future of our nation.
