The chairman of ASUU, University of Abuja chapter has denied reports of an impending strike
Dr Ben Ugheoke dismissed the reports as mere rumours
Speaking in Abuja on Tuesday, September 13, he said no one interviewed him
Contrary to earlier reports of an impending strike on October 2, the chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Abuja’s chapter, Dr Ben Ugheoke has something totally different to say.
According to Vanguard, Dr Ugheoke has revealed that the union has not issued any strike notice to the federal government.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, September 13, in Abuja, he said that he did not grant any interview or issue a statement on pending strike as it was reported.
“My attention has been drawn to a publication online and on social media captioned UniAbuja ASUU to begin strike on Oct. 2.
“The public and ASUU National Executive Council should know and note that no one came, either as journalist or any press team, to interview me.
“I hereby denounce such a publication as the work of mischief makers, targeted at misleading the unsuspecting public about the trajectory of the struggles of ASUU.
“ASUU is committed to revitalising the University of Abuja and indeed, the education system of Nigeria,” he said in the statement.
He went on to urge the public and stakeholders to disregard the report as it did not originate from him.
Meanwhile, there is some panic as the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has given the federal government notice of industrial action.
NARD gave the government two weeks to resolve all pending issues in the health sector or face a medical doctors strike at the end of the month. The president of the association, Dr John Onyebueze, while speaking with journalists at the end of NARD’s 26th Annual General Meeting in Enugu, disclosed the ultimatum.
