The Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government, according to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU),is deceitful and notorious for reversing its earlier arrangement with the academic union.
ASUU added that the federal government was acting dishonestly and that it doubted its ability and willingness to resolve the conflict between it and the union.
The Federal Government’s purported abandoning of the proposed renegotiated 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement confirms doubts about the Federal Government’s commitment to ending the present strike, according to Stanley Ogoun, the Port Harcourt Zonal Coordinator of ASUU.

Ogoun claimed that the FG’s reluctance to uphold the conditions of the Memorandum of Action, or MoA, which resulted in the conditional suspension of the previous strike in December 2020, prompted the union into the current strike on February 14, 2022.
In accordance with the terms of the 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement, renegotiation of the Agreement has been due since 2012 (10 years ago), but it took the union several years of concerted efforts to bring the Federal Government to the renegotiation table in 2017 with Dr. Wale Babalakin as the leader of the Federal Government’s team.

Ogoun asserted that the Federal Government was not interested in collective bargaining and added that it was unfortunate and regrettable that Mallam Adamu Adamu, the Minister of Education, whose incompetence caused and prolonged this avoidable strike, was unable to take proactive measures to end the strike.
He said: “Imagine the level of deceitfulness by the minister. A promise to fulfill demands in an election year? We did not embark on strike for over six months geared towards improving our public universities only to come back with mere promissory notes from a government that is notorious for reneging on agreements. I’m sure Nigerians would not forgive us.”
