STRIKE AGAIN?

With the Academic Staff Union of Universities straying into three months of strike, another higher institution has embarked on strike. The academic staff union of Colleges of University is at it this time.

Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) had on Tuesday, began a 7-day warning strike to press home their own demands from the Federal and States Governments.

According to COEASU, the union embarked on the strike action over failure of the Federal Government to honour the gentleman agreement it entered with the teachers’ union in 2009.

The union also condemned the protracted delay in the release of the White Paper of the Presidential Visitation panels to Federal Colleges of Education, arguing that the delay could only be understood as a deliberate and calculated attempt at not addressing the critical issues that the panels unearthed.

When will this strikes end?
