A group of women under the body of the National Market Women Association, on Monday protested at N' Assembly Complex, the ongoing strike action embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, making demands that the Union calls off the strike immediately...
The President of the Association, Mrs Felicia Sani was quoted, saying
“We all know what they do with our year-one daughters in the university. We equally know that they sell handouts and handbooks. “Is this not worse than corruption of the highest order?
About the agreement the Federal Government reached with the ASUU, she said;
“Which agreement? How do you expect lecturers in state universities to earn same salaries as Federal ones? That is impossible. “We are not educated, but you do not expect a hotel in my village to cost same price as a hotel in Abuja. “They are located in different places. So how can a state university lecturer earn same salary with his federal counterpart? “We are begging them for the last time. If we come out again we may have to chase them out of this country and replace them with so many jobless Nigerians.”
