Members of the joint campus committee JCC, in Adamawa state have Staged a protest blocking the main entrance to the state capital from the Hayin Gada axis of Girei local government area of the state.

The chairman, joint campus committee, Adamawa axis, Comrade Anasam Ishaya Maspalma told Newsmen, that the protest was a result of the inability of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, and the federal government to reach a compromise so that the ongoing strike action by the can be called off.

Comrade Anasam Ishaya Maspalma, said students are the ones at the receiving end, saying during strike actions, they are often tempted to indulge in social vices.

“ this time around the students are standing up for their rights to say enough is enough. Let FG and ASUU settle their differences and call us back to our campuses”

He said landlords do not care about the hardship strikes put parents and students in, as such, they are not concerned whether students occupied their rented apartments for the session being paid for or not, adding that they only care about rent payment and this is yet another burden to both parents and some self-sponsored students.

“ There is no refund of money after payment and all of those things,so we are standing on our rights to say we deserve better, education is a right, not privilege”

He added that each time Asuu is on strike, it affects the students, especially in terms of securing jobs as a result of the age factor.

“ This process is not a day thing, we will continue with this process until something is been done”

The Academic Staff of Universities Union (ASUU) and the Federal Government of Nigeria are in conflict over funding of the Nigerian Universities, better working condition among other ASUU demands.

As part of the resolution of its supreme organ during its meeting at Sokoto State University, the National Association of Nigerian Students NANS had threatened to shut down Nigeria, if the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) failed to resolve their differences, to allow students to go back to school to continue their academic programs.

The National Executive Committee of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has ended its two-day meeting at the University of Lagos, Akoka, with a final decision to proceed on an indefinite strike for a period of one-Month.

The strike takes effect from Monday, February 14, 2022.

ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, who announce the development, said the strike was against their wish but they had to put the interest of the union first.

He said, ” I announce to you with a heavy heart the commencement of a nationwide strike starting from 14th February till our needs are met.

The union had expressed grievances over the failure of the Federal Government to fulfill some of the agreements it made as far back as 2009. ASUU had on November 15, 2021 given the Federal Government a three-week ultimatum over the failure to meet the demands.

The lecturers threatened to embark on another round of industrial action following the alleged “government’s unfaithfulness” in the implementation of the Memorandum of Action it signed with the union, leading to the suspension of the 2020 strike action.

After the union’s National Executive Council meeting at the University of Abuja on November 13 and 14, ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, lamented that despite meeting with the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, on October 14, 2021, on issues, including funding for revitalisation of public universities, earned academic allowances, University Transparency Accountability Solution, promotion arrears, renegotiation of 2009 ASUU-FGN agreement, and the inconsistencies in Integrated Payroll and Personnel information system payment, none of its demands had been met.
