The Academic Staff Union of Universities – ASUU has warned that the Federal Government should be held responsible for any industrial unrest in Nigeria’s public universities.

ASUU issued the warning in a statement signed by the union’s Federal University, Dutse, FUD, Chairman, Comrade DR SALIM AHMAD.

The union noted that over the past four years, Nigeria’s public universities have been in a state of industrial disharmony, leading to two costly and avoidable strike actions.

The statement added that after the expiration of the 21-day ultimatum, the Federal Government has not demonstrated any genuine commitment to address the issues in contention.

ASUU said failure of the Federal Government to meet the monetary and non-monetary demands of the union is brewing industrial disharmony in Nigeria’s public universities.
