ASUU Vows To Continue With Strike, Says Federal Government Can't Intimidate Them

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has insisted that the strike will continue until the Federal Government meets their demands. The president of the union, Nasir Fagge made this known in a press briefing held yesterday in Abuja. In his words, he said the union "shall never be cowed". He says ASUU cannot be intimidated by the Federal Government. Remember they were given a 7-day ultimatum to call off the strike, which ends on the 5th of December.

"We shall bow only to what we as academics are convinced will serve the interest of Nigeria and its people, no matter their ethnic, religious or class origins. This is where we stand. We shall never be cowed,"  Fagge said.
