Strike: We’re Waiting For Reps Committee – Dr Hassan

Chairman, Plateau State University chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Dr Monday Hassan, has said that the association’s two-week warning strike is ongoing, stating that they are still waiting for the House of Representatives’ intervention.

Hassan stated this against  the  backdrop  of the House of Representatives ad-hoc committee headed by the Speaker, Mr Tajudeen Abbas, which seeks to mediate over the impasse. Hassan said they were waiting to hear from the committee.

Speaking to our correspondent yesterday, Hassan said the strike would end only after a concrete discussion with the union’s national leadership.

He said, “If they intervene, there may be a positive response from the federal government.” The bottom line is that we are waiting to hear from them.”
