(NAKOSS) on Sunday expressed support for the Federal
Government's directive to the striking universities lecturers to
resume work on Monday or be sacked.
President of the association, Mr Shuaib Abubakar, expressed
the concern in a telephone interviewin Lokoja .
He said that the strike was becoming ridiculous, adding that
the union welcomed the Federal Government's decision to
sack the lecturers if they refused to go back to work.
Abubakar explained that government could not meet all the
lecturer's demands at a time and urged other labour union
leaders to persuade ASUU to end the strike.
He also urged ASUU to go back to work in the interest of the
students and their future.
The student leader said that the strike had added extra year to
the programme of the affected students, adding that such
situation was frustrating.
He, however, expressed the hope that all the striking
institutions would resume on Monday in compliance with the
government's instruction.
ASUU began an indefinite strike on July 1, over non
implementation of 1999 agreements signed with the union by
the government.
