While warning that the union would return to strike without notice if the government fails in meeting its part of the agreement reached with the university lecturers, Ogunyemi noted that the reopening of the schools, considering the COVID-19 pandemic, lies with the FG and Senate.
The 10 Months Old strike has been conditionally suspended with the following highlights:
- Accepts the agreement reached
- To consciously monitor implementation
- To ensure no Non-IPPIS- compliant suffers because of the strike
- To ensure mainstreaming of EAA
- Conditionally suspend the strike WEF 12:01 am Thursday, 24/12/2020
- To resume strike without notice if Government fails
Professor Ogunyemi thanked students and their parents for their understanding throughout the nine-month period and said: “no amount of sacrifice would be too much to get the matter resolved as long as the government is consistent with its commitments.”
“We didn’t lock the universities, as far as we are concerned, our members are to resume from Thursday 24th of December, 2020 From 12:01am. It is the government that will decide when universities are to resume in line with the Covid-19 compliance guidelines.”
The Union apologize for all inconvenience caused to students and parents.
