University of Abuja, Nigeria
UPDATE: In a telephone interview with Daily Trust, the ASUU chairman, UniAbuja Chapter, Dr. Clement Chup says the union dared the federal government to sack its members over the prolonged universities' strike.
"The school can go ahead and ask students to resume but we won’t do any work; we won’t teach them. It is not our responsibility to resume until ASUU decides.
"We’re not afraid of that (sack). He (Education minister) can go to the motor park to recruit lecturers that will lecture the students. You can now see the insincerity of some people in government. We told the government when we met that we’re ready to suspend the strike once we’re able to clarify some issues in our agreements with them. But they went ahead without clarifying those issues at stake. We dare them to sack us," he said.
