FG, students react as ASUU again extends strike

The Federal Government (FG) and students have on Monday reacted to the recent extension of the strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

Reacting, the spokesperson for the Federal Ministry of Education, Ben Goong, claimed that the government had taken all possible steps to end the strike.

He said, “As regards the next steps, the government has already inaugurated a committee to harmonise the IPPIS, UTAS, and UP3. This will ensure that the government will pay with only one payment platform that will harmonise all the technical peculiarities.

“If you bring some demands and almost 80% have been attended to, there is no need to drag the strike anymore.

“It is unreasonable for the strike to be lingering seeing as the government has worked towards fulfilling most of the demands.”

In reaction, some students on social media said;

“Make I go marry abeg… which kind life be this?” – @IntrovertedLyf

“I don quit school be that” – @Frozzy56838953

“Let just dedicate the whole of 2022 to Asuu. We continue academics next year” – @David_Of_Lagos
