The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has warned the federal government against hearkening to prescription that could jeopardize the deadlock of its previous meetings with the government to address its demands.

It also warned that, the Government’s refusal to pay for the strike would hurt students more and be disruptive of our public universities which government’s insensitivity has thrown into avoidable crisis.

The union flayed many opinions and publications on the seven-month-long strike, saying many of the authors demonstrated what it called a “lack of understanding of the core issues.”

It explained that unlike other government work,the work of a lecturer goes beyond teaching in classroom, adding that,”While teaching is on hold during the pendency of a strike, research work goes on unimpeded.
