A breakaway faction of the Academic Staff Union of Universities - Congress of Nigerian University Academics , has dissociated itself from the ongoing strike in Nigerian universities.
The union added: “Our strongly-held view is that strikes wreak great havoc on the university system, and the concessions that are earned after every strike, over the decades, have amounted to pyrrhic victories when weighed against the systematic destruction of the local and global image of university education in Nigeria. Our preferred alternatives to strikes in resolving industrial disputes, therefore, include constructive engagement and constant dialogue with all stakeholders.
“In fact, before the incident which caused the students to be asked to vacate the campus, most of our members had concluded their lectures. Since it wasn’t our members who declared a strike, lumping us together with those who are on strike is therefore patently unfair,” it said.Meanwhile, the union has decried the conditions of service of Nigerian academics and the inconsistencies associated with the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System , both major demands of the striking ASUU.
The statement also stated that CONUA believes that there are a lot of problems with IPPIS, the current payment system.
