The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Tuesday
declared a three day fasting and prayer to seek divine
intervention in the protracted dispute between the Federal
Government and the union. The decision to embark on
spiritual intervention came during the union congress held
at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ibadan. The congress which was presided over by the Chairman of UI chapter of
ASUU, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, stressed the need for God to
help Nigerian leaders to do the needful and document the
resolutions of their meeting with the President. The
congress which expressed optimism that the strike will end
soon listed three prayer points to include: “the need for God to touch the heart of the Federal government to be
committed towards funding public education and develop
the nation. They also asked God to protect the leadership of
ASUU as they travel and that the purpose of the strike is
actualized by placing universities in the league of world
class institutions.” Speaking after the congress, Dr. Ajiboye said the union does not need newspaper confirmation from
the president that N200billion has been deposited with the
Central Bank of Nigeria. He said it was impossible for
anybody who has not opened an account with a bank to
request the bank for a balance. While urging the federal
government to be serious about the future of the country, the don accused the government of “still keeping the
students at home.” He said the union has the machinery to
suspend the strike within 24 hours once the grey areas in
the resolutions have been sorted out by the federal
government. The post Strike: ASUU declares three-day
