The President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, has said members of the body may find it difficult to get to their respective schools on Monday as they do not have “money for transport”
He disclosed this on Sunday while speaking about matters arising from the suspension of the ASUU strike on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
Prof Osodeke said, unlike those days when lecturers lived in staff quarters very close to campuses, most lecturers now live far away from the school campuses as most schools could not provide accommodation for them.
He said since they have not been paid for eight months, it would be difficult for them to afford the transport fares to their respective schools to teach students.
In schools those days, every lecturer lives on campus and you can trek to your office but these days, many lecturers live 20, 30 kilometers from their offices. How will they pay for their transport to work?
Confirming the suspension of the strike, he said “we suspended the strike hoping that the government will do the needful and by tomorrow, if the universities are open, hopefully, the lecturers will go back to work.
“We are resuming because we are obeying an industrial court judgment because the issues have not been fully resolved, and no agreement signed.
