ASUU, students in war of words over strike

The president of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Emmanuel Osodeke has said that the union did not ask for students’ help before it embarked on a strike.

Recall that the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) president, Sunday Asefon, had said that students would no longer support the union’s call for intervention.

He accused the ASUU body of being self-serving.

Osodeke said students who have been kept at home because of the industrial action had not supported the union’s struggle.

He said if students and parents had taken over the struggle, ASUU body will not have this problem.

Osodeke said the students leaders have been going from one office to another instead of joining the struggle.
