FG, ASUU Both Losers in Ongoing Strike - Aremu

Date: 2013-11-25

The Vice President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, Comrade Issa Aremu yesterday in Ilorin, Kwara state described both the Federal Government and members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, as losers in the ongoing strike embarked upon by the university lecturers.

Aremu, who doubles as the General Secretary of National Union of Textile, Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria, NUTGTWN, lamented that the sudden demise of the former ASUU leader, Professor Festus Iyayi had caused a major setback in NLC's efforts to resolve the impasse.

Aremu spoke with newsmen in Ilorin at the fidau held in honour of the late wife of the pioneer Chairman, Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offence Commission (ICPC ), Hajia Akanbi.

According to him, "We are all losers and the lessons from this is that government should learn to keep and respect agreement reached collectively .We can't be part of the leading countries of the world when we shut Universities for four months,"

Describing the deceased's demise "as a loss of a comrade mother" whom he said "was very passionate about Nigerians and the state of the Nigerian nation," Aremu said though the late jurist wife "was anonymous" in her struggle, the union recognized her silent roles and the supports she gave to her husband who according to him, was a friend of the Labour Union.
