The Committee of Pro-Chancellors of State-Owned Universities has urged the Federal Government to prevent the imminent strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). This was contained in a communique after its meeting in Abuja recently.
The union also hailed the government for putting a moratorium on further proliferation of universities, but advised a review of budgetary allocations to education.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the Governing Council of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Oyo State, Ayodeji Omole, said: “The nation cannot afford another strike,” adding that the committee of Pro-Chancellors seeks representation in negotiations when disputes with labour unions in varsities arise.
