ASUU Strike: FG will drag you to court, Ngige warns Lecturers!








The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has said the Federal Government will consider taking the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to the industrial court, if the reconciliation process to resolve the ongoing strike fails.


ASUU embarked on a one-month warning strike on February 14, 2022, but it was extended on March 14 by eight weeks.


The union cited its dissatisfaction with the Federal Government’s “disappointing” response on the matter.

Since then, ASUU and the government have held several meetings, but no agreement has been reached.



Speaking on Thursday in an interview with Channels Television, Ngige warned ASUU to refrain from “intimidating” officials in the ministry of digital communications and economy and the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) over the deployment of the University Transparency Account System (UTAS) proposed by the union.


The Minister also claimed the union has threatened the Minister of Digital Communications and Economy, Isa Pantami, with revocation of his professorship.

He said: “The solution is that number one, ASUU has to come down from its high horse. You cannot go and start intimidating people in NITDA and threatening the minister of digital economy and communications with revocation of his professorship; that he is a fake professor and that they did not approve it
