LAUTECH: Student’s Union Issued 72hrs Ultimatum to staffs to withdraw from the ongoing ASUU Strike
The Students’ Union of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso has given lecturers in the university 72 hours to withdraw from the ongoing strike embarked on by the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
The ASUU had on February 14 embarked on a four-week warning strike over the failure of the Federal Government to honour the 2009 agreements it reached with the union and the rot in universities.
The union also extended the strike action by another eight weeks on March 14.
But the Students’ Union of LAUTECH in a statement on Friday by the President, Anuoluwa Adeboye and Public Relations Officer, Gabriel Michael, said the students of the university had suffered too much from the past strikes.
They added that the ongoing strike had also made the fresh graduates of the school miss the mobilisation for the National Youth Service Corps orientation programme in March.
The students said they had requested a dialogue from the ASUU LAUTECH branch but stated that the union had refused to address them.
