ASUU Threatens Indefinite Strike After Talks With Government Collapse—-The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has warned that it will resume its nationwide strike if an agreement is not reached with the Federal Government at the expiration of its one-month ultimatum.

ASUU Kano Zonal Coordinator Abdulkadir Muhammad gave the warning on Monday in Kano during a news conference after the zone’s meeting.

The meeting had representatives from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria; Bayero University Kano (BUK); and Kaduna State University (KASU).

Others were Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology (ADUSTECH), Wudil; Federal University Dutse (FUD); Northwest University (NWU), Kano; and Sule Lamido University (SLUK), Kafin Hausa.

Muhammad said this followed the report presented at ASUU’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held on Nov. 8 and 9 at Taraba State University.

He said NEC expressed dissatisfaction with the slow pace of the ongoing renegotiation between the union and the government, describing it as a major obstacle to concluding the process meaningfully.

He said the suspension of the strike in October was meant to create an enabling environment and a gesture of goodwill toward Nigerians.

“However, our hope for a holistic and timely resolution of the issues is increasingly being dashed.

He said that the government had yet to show genuine commitment to improving lecturers’ welfare or addressing the conditions that fuel brain drain in the university system.

“What government has offered will neither improve the working conditions of academics nor attract scholars from other countries to our universities,” he said.

According to him, it is unfortunate that some government officials claim that ASUU demands have been met.

He urged the Federal Government to place a moratorium on the establishment of state universities, as it did for federal universities.

Panic as Four-Storey School Building Collapses in Ogba Area of Lagos—-A major tragedy was averted in Lagos State on Monday when a four-storey building housing a school collapsed minutes after students and workers left the premises.

Tribune Online gathered that the incident occurred around 12 noon at 11 Adudatu Street, behind County Hospital in the Aguda area of Ogba, housing Yemco Nursery, Primary and Comprehensive College.

It was gathered that a man in the vicinity raised the alarm that the building was showing signs of distress and was unsafe for people to occupy it.

“That was how students and teachers hurriedly exited the building,” an eyewitness account said, adding that.

“Shortly thereafter, the building collapsed.”

It was gathered that the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Services later mobilised to the scene to secure the area and restrict access to the collapsed structure.

Also, Tribune Online further learnt that part of the collapsed building, which is being used for residential purposes, remained standing beside the collapsed portion.

Reacting to the incident, the Head of Public Affairs unit of the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, Mr Kayode Sutton, told Nigerian Tribune that the ministry had dispatched a team to the scene to ascertain the situation and cause of the incident.

He said further comment could only be provided after the fact-finding team submitted its findings
