Fresh strike: Allow us to finish our exams – Students beg ASUU
by Adeleye Kunle
Students of Federal University Lokoja (FUL) on Monday pleaded with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) not to resume its strike until after their second-semester exams.
The students’ plea came on the heels of ASUU’s congress meeting on Monday, deliberating on the Federal Government’s alleged failure to pay its members’ salaries after resuming work on Oct. 14 from its eight months strike.
A cross-section of the students, who made the plea while speaking with NAN in Lokoja, said it would be disastrous if their exams scheduled to commence on Nov 14 would not hold.
Miss Joy Abuh, a Political Science student, said her prayer was that Monday’s ASUU congress would not end up with the resumption of the suspended strike.
“We have just settled down after the strike suspension and are seriously preparing for our second-semester exams starting next Monday.
“It will be disastrous for us in FUL if the exams will not be held as scheduled, considering the eight months we have wasted at home.
“My fervent prayer is that the union will not declare any strike at the end of their meeting today in Abuja,” she said.
Another student, Adeiza Ibrahim, with the Department of Education, lamented the effects of any further strike on the Nigerian students and called for a rethink from ASUU to allow academic activities to continue while they settled their differences with the government
