ASUU strike: EBSU withdraws from protest, orders students to resume tomorrow

Apparently tired of the non-progressive dialogue
between the Academic Staff Union of Universities,
ASUU, and the federal government over the
ongoing strike, authorities of the Ebonyi State
University have decided to pull out of the protest. According a terse statement by the institution’s
Registrar, Mr. Sam Egwu, the decision came after
the ASUU National Executive Council failed to end
the four-month strike at the weekend meeting. Academic activities will resume in all the
university campuses tomorrow, Tuesday,
November 26. The statement reads, “Having waited patiently for
the Federal Government and ASUU to resolve the
impasse occasioned by the over four months
strike embarked upon by the Union to no avail,
the management of EBSU, on Monday, November
26 has resolved to reopen the school. “We therefore inform all concerned that teaching
and learning will begin fully on Tuesday, 26th,
November, 2013. This is to enable us cover what
we have lost to the strike.”
