I am saying they are owing us over eight years verified earned academic allowances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it only ASUU that is on strike? Some sectors (research institutes) of the nation have been on strike for 13 months and the government has been paying their salaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it an offence to become lecturers in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/broadnews\/2022\/06\/10\/ghent-university-seeks-partnership-with-nigerian-universities-on-research\/\">Nigerian universities<\/a>? What led to the strike? It is the non-responsiveness of the government that led to the strike,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the union will not sacrifice its members\u2019 welfare. It will resist any effort to turn intellectuals to slaves.<\/p>\n<p>He said that the union had given 14-month strike notice to the Federal Government before commencing the strike in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Akinwole said, even the effort of the Nigerian Inter-religious council in 2021 yielded no results before the union was forced to declare the strike on Feb. 14.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe waited for 14 months from December 2020 to February 2022 before declaring this strike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am saying 14 months\u2019 notice, 14 months engagements and Nigeria Inter-religious council intervened in 2021 when we would have declared the strike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe gave them one month with no result. Heroes are gone before they are appreciated, but our union will not die. We will not die. We are going to be alive to see this struggle through,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Akinwole said that the N1.1 trillion for revitalisation of universities was not for lecturers in the public universities.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the amount was arrived at by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/broadnews\/2022\/01\/04\/economic-growth-experts-set-2022-agenda-for-federal-government\/\">Federal Government<\/a> through its NEEDS Assessment report on the level of decay in Nigerian public universities.<\/p>\n<p>Akinwole, however, thanked ASUU members for sacrificing and remaining resolute to reposition the nation\u2019s public university education.<\/p>\n<p>He said that only strikes have forced the government to spend money on its universities in the last 25 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf ASUU does not go on this struggle, there will be no university for new people to attend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the last 25 years, the Federal Government would not have spent money on its universities, if ASUU had not gone on strike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am also a parent and my children are at home with me.
