The President of the Academic Union of Universities (ASUU), Biodun Ogunyemi has revealed that the Union will resist all attempts to increase tuition fees in public universities, stating that the Union will go on strike if the government falls short in meeting their demands.
According to Mr Biodun, “We will not tolerate any attempt to increase tuition fee, we are against telling people to pay more, even the current fees, we are still fighting them, we as a body have always stood against fee increment and we will continue to stand against it.”
“The truth is there are lots of issues rocking the system. We have made our position known to the federal government; we have also written to state governments who have refused to give subvention to their universities.”
“Some of them cannot sustain one university and they go on to establish two or three, compounding the issues.
“We have given the government till June ending to attend to our needs, if the government does not call us by June ending we will convey a meeting to take our position.”
He also hinted on the LAUTECH Saga and other issues in which the Union is involved in the Country.
