ASUU: Aviation unions warn FG, set to join solidarity strike
Our Editor
The Association of Nigeria Aviation Professionals and the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers have threatened to go on strike the lingering strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
They alled on the Federal Government to urgently and in the interest of the nation put an end to six months strike embarked upon by ASUU and other unions in the nation’s universities.
A statement signed by NAAPE’s Deputy General Secretary, Umoh Ofonime, decried the refusal of the Federal Government to honour the agreement signed with ASUU since 2009 describing it as very disturbing.
It condemned the attitude of the Federal Government over the prolonged strike considering the negative impact in the life of students.
“NAAPE, therefore, completely supports the position of the National Executive Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress to embark on a nationwide protest on July 26 and 27, 2022 in solidarity with the trade unions in the Nigeria Public Universities and others,” a statement which read in parts stated.
In the statement made available to the Media on Monday, the General Secretary of ANAP, Comrade Abdulrasaq Saidu called on the President Mohammadu Buhari’s government, to end without further delay, the ongoing strike before it gets out of hand.
ANAP noted that the continuing stay at home by students of tertiary institutions has added to social vices in the country.
The group also threatened that they will join in the strike in solidarity by closing the aviation sector if the government did not take urgent necessary steps to address ASUU’s demands.
ANAP further noted that the over five months strike has ridiculed the educational system and made it a laughing stock before the world.
