Strike: ASUU Leadership Misleading Lecturers, Students –Suswam Governor of Benue State and chairman of the federal government’s Needs Assessment Committee, Gabriel Suswam has appealed to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to suspend the ongoing strike action in the best interest of Nigerian students. Suswam, who stated this yesterday in Makurdi, the Benue state capital when the leadership of the National Union of Benue State students (NUBESS) paid him a courtesy visit, noted that the federal government had ensured that the welfare of the striking lecturers was enhanced and that in return, the varsity lecturers should reciprocate the gesture. According to him, “the federal government has shifted ground and so it is expected that ASUU too should show commitment by calling off the strike in the general interest of the students. I think the leadership of ASUU is misleading lecturers and students. ASUU should not play politics with the future of the students. They can call off the strike as the needs committee continue to negotiate the matter.”
