ASUU Holds Street Rallies In Onitsha And Awka.

Members of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities on Monday held street rallies
in Onitsha and Awka, Anambra State, to
press home their demand for the
implementation of the 2009 agreement the
union reached with the Federal
Government.
The rally at Onitsha was conducted by
ASUU members from the Anambra State

At the Onitsha rally and street march held
at Zik’s Roundabout, the Chairman of ASUU
of ANSU, Dr. Sylvia Okonkwo, said striking
university teachers would not return to the

intervention fund annually into university
education over the next three years.
She also said ASUU wants the Federal
Government to aid state-owned universities,
pay lecturers their earned allowances,
gradually increase budgetary allocation to
education, transfer landed property to
universities and make companies operating
in Nigeria to set up research and
development units.
