The Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) has said there is no going back on its decision to continue with its ongoing strike following Federal Government’s failure to honour the 2009 agreement.ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osedeke, said this in an interview on Wednesday in Abuja.
Osedeke also said the union took the ‘difficult decision’ after exhausting all avenues available to amicably settle the matter with the Federal Government.“Let me give you an example, because this is where we are getting it wrong, when the airline operators said they were going to stop the flights, the Senate and House of Representatives quickly stepped in.“The problem is the will of government to resolve issues,” he said.
It can be recalled that ASUU on Monday extended its roll-over strike which started on Feb. 14 by another 12 weeks. 
On which the demands from the government were, funding of the revitalisation of public universities, Earned Academic Allowances, University Transparency Accountability Solution (UTAS) and promotion arrears.Others are the renegotiation of 2009 ASUU-FG Agreement and the inconsistency in Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System.
