The Committee of Pro-Chancellors of Nigerian Federal Universities in their meeting on Monday expressed concern over the lingering ASUU strike. It also calledfor immediate solution to the crisis.
The statement said the strike by ASUU had lingered because of thenon-implementation of the 2009 agreement between the Federal Government and the union.
The statement said: “The collateralconsequences of the strike are as it relates to the Post-UTME screening and the semester examinations in some universities, as well as the generaldislocation of the academic calendar.
“The committee of pro-chancellors wishes to appeal to all parties concerned to dispassionately expedite action toresolve the matter soonest.”
In a related development, the University of Jos chapter has disclosed that the UTME tests going on in the school is invalid.
It said that “the national strike is total, comprehensive and indefinite,” and therefore all systems should be shut down until the ASUU/ Federal Govt issues are sorted out.
