ASUU National President, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, stated this on Tuesday while briefing newsmen in Abuja.
Professor Osedeke said the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige should be blamed for the present situation.
Lecturers in government-owned universities embarked on a nationwide strike on February 14 over the adoption of the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) of the government as the payment system in the university sector.
They had also decried the poor funding of universities, non-payment of salaries and allowances of some of their colleagues, as well as the inability of the government to pay earned academic allowance to lecturers, among other issues.
