Members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities on Monday held street rallies in Onitsha and Awka, Anambra State, to press home their demand for the implementation of the 2009 agreement the union reached with the Federal Government.

The rally at Onitsha was conducted by ASUU members from the Anambra State University, while that of Awka was conducted ASUU members from the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka.

At the Onitsha rally and street march held at Zik’s Roundabout, the Chairman of ASUU of ANSU, Dr. Sylvia Okonkwo, said striking university teachers would not return to the classroom unless the 2009 agreement was executed.

She said among other demands, ASUU was asking for an injection of N400bn intervention fund annually into university education over the next three years.

She also said ASUU wants the Federal Government to aid state-owned universities, pay lecturers their earned allowances, gradually increase budgetary allocation to education, transfer landed property to universities and make companies operating in Nigeria to set up research and development units.

ASUU has actually made me jobless as I have nothing more to do daily than sit in front of my PC and wait for new posts on nairaland in order to be first to comment ( abi is it "coment"sef?). And now I have done so twice in a row, all in one day. What happens to my education?

Hehehehe! No-work-no-pay don dey skin their azz...

This ASUU strike is just nonsense because ASUU is more corrupt than Federal Government. Their big men is just looking for their own share of the National cake.

OH God! I'm tired. Lord please intervene

i didnt feel any rally here in onitsha, even on my radio.

Ok Oº°˚˚°ºoo

From strike to rally.....
Fighting for their own selfish interests.

Cho Tai... my advice to newly employed lecturers...go back to teach in the secondary school because this no work no pay will not favour them

So Ansu lecturers went on protest? Would have loved to see how my Mac lecturers protested

ASUP

Y rally, nyansh don dey pain dem to sidon 4 hauz? .

If the FG actually signed the much talked about agreement in 2009, there's no way they could have done so without understanding its implication. So, it is the FG who is hypocritical here for failing to honour the document. These people are fighting for us all. When those idi©ts are embezzling up there with impunity nobody calls for heads. Abeg let's fight for quality education once and for all.

Ow i wish their salaries had been stopped since July, i 4 see where dem 4 get strength to organise rally

snika: Pichures?

must he post pictures, i heard it on news

Agreement is agreement. FG must honour the agreement they signed with them. All this one you people are making here against ASUU is just noise that cannot help you. If the FG feels for you students they should ve gone further to keep an agreement they signed. They have kept you people in the house and you think by blaming ASUU your problem will be solved. Keep dreaming.

Hmm.

bunch of elements dat want their own Rome to be built in a day.... I support FG on this one... only 2 months is left fo me to round up... na de only thin wey de vex me.... I don write project tire, no supervision..

Is it the administration of gej that signed the agreement? ASUU should start a renegotiation since there has been a change of government.
