The Academic Staff Union of Universities said it would not call off the ongoing indefinite strike because of the mere promise made by the Goodluck Jonathan led Federal Government to provide revitalisation fund for the university system across the country.
ASUU queried what has happened to the promises they got from President Jonathan before.

The union also stated that the existence of the National Universities Commission has not brought improvement to the standard of education in the country. It therefore called on the National Assembly to investigate the activities of NUC with a view to determining the continued relevance or otherwise of the university supervisory body.
If found irrelevant, ASUU said NUC should be scrapped immediately.
Chairman of ASUU, University of Ibadan chapter, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, who spoke in Ibadan noted that the NUC boss, Prof. Julius Okojie, had concentrated the effort of the university regulatory body on quantity rather than quality.
Dr Ajiboye said, “Okojie should take full responsibility for all his deeds in the NUC.”
