What ASUU Told FG About Forcing Lecturers Back To School Via Court Order
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has cautioned the Federal Government against forcing striking members of the union back to class via court order.
The Federal Government dragged ASUU to court over the lingering strike with the ruling date set.
But speaking on Tuesday with the Federal Government, the leadership of the House of Representatives, and the lecturers, the president of the union Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, wondered what manner of teaching members will dish out if forced back to the classroom by a court order.
“We are meeting with the ministry of education and the committee of pro chancellors and vice-chancellors and others. As we are doing this, the same ministry of labour ran to court,” he said during the meeting convened by the Speaker of the House of Representatives Femi Gbajabiamila.
“If the courts force the lecturers to go work tomorrow, which type of teaching will they do? If the courts force the Nigerian academics to go and teach against their will, just like a court forcing a doctor to treat a patient against his will, how many of us will go to that doctor?”
The ASUU chief lamented that “This is the 7th month this strike is on. We have never been called to a formal meeting by the minister of education. No formal meeting. No one. We were only called to a meeting twice by the minister of labour, 27 of February and March 1. Between then and now, we have not been called to a formal meeting. I used the word “formal”.
“I challenge the Minister of education to show that he had called for any formal meeting. I can assure you that in the next 10 years, our public universities will be like public primary and secondary schools.”

THE COURT JUST DID.
Dealt a big blow to DEFLATE the cancerous ego and arrogance of the commercial teachers in our ivory towers.
AND IMAGINE BELOW, HOW THE LAWLESS LECTURERS ATTEMPTED TO PREEMPT AND PREJUDICED THE VERDICT OF THE COURT.
‘ “If the court forces the lecturers to go to work tomorrow, which type of teaching will they do? If the court forces the Nigerian academics — say go and teach against your will — just like the court forcing a doctor to go and treat a patient against your will, how many of us will go and meet that doctor.””
THESE BUNCH ARE INSENSITIVE TO THE FUTURE OF OUR YOUTHS WITH THE IMPACT ON THE NATION AND HOW THEIR ILLEGAL MORIBUND RECKLESS ACTION WOULD JEOPARDISE OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM, THEREBY THE TOTALITY OF OUR COLLECTIVE WELLBEING.
Cocky pompous and stupid obstinacy of lecturers in our universities entrusted with the fortunes of our country.
DISGRACED AND ORDERED TO GO BACK TO WORK AND TEACH OUR STUDENTS. NOT ABSURD STRIKES THAT LEADS NOWHERE AND PAYS NOBODY IN PARTICULAR.
If and when all entreaties with reasons failed. Maybe and perhaps the judiciary would enforce the laws of the land upon the people that are expected to know, supposedly.
