ASUU warns other unions to desist from using them as bait

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has warned other academic unions in the country to desist from using them as bait in their negotiations with the federal government, but to fight their battles their ways.

This warning comes after the National Association of Academic Technologists ( NAAT), expressed displeasure with the sharing arrangement of the N40 billion released by the Federal Government as Earned Academic Allowances for university workers.

The university of Lagos state chairman chapter of ASUU, who is also a member of the National Executive Committee of the union, Dr. Dele Ashiru, gave the warning on Sunday, January 3, saying that ASUU had presented its demands to the government, and made a case out of it, and some monies were released afterwards.

He further warned that no union should drag ASUU to their fight or struggles.
