ASUU STRIKE: Don't celebrate yet ASUU is yet to call off the strike (Confirmed)

Minna – Journalists were , Monday, assaulted by some
officials of the Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU), while they were waiting for the outcome of the
Union's National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting
holding at the Federal University of Technology, in Minna.
The closed-door meeting which started at about 11:30am was
still ongoing at press time.

However, there was disagreement among ASUU members
over the presence of the media, some suggested the media
should stay because they are doing their job, others persisted
that "we did not invite them. When we need them, we will
invite them."

The Vice Chancellor, Federal University of Technology Minna, Prof. Musbau Akanji, who got wind of the altercation
between journalists and the ASUU officials, intervened saying, "although, I am not a part of the meeting but I am
apologizing on their behalf because they are in my territory.

"This place (FUT, Minna) is a Federal Government institution, and it is a public place that everybody, including journalists can enter, especially when they are doing their job."

As at the time of filing this report, the strike has not been
called off.
