ASUU also advised members not to sign the attendance registers in their institutions and lambasted the government for lack of consistency in its statements on the ongoing strike.
The union warned that academic activities would not commence until the Federal Government perfected the resolutions reached with the union.
Dr Segun Ajiboye, Chairman of University of Ibadan chapter, said "Don't risk the lives of your children, keep them at home because ASUU will not teach. Soldiers and the police deployed by the Federal Government will not teach.
"Wike can come and teach in the universities. It is a huge joke to sack lecturers. Our strike must not be in vain. Our students must see the results.
"It is funny. We thought we are in a democracy. I assure
Nigerians that we know what the law says about the strike. Our job is
statue backed. We are not threatened. We do not trust the government.
The record of the government is clear. This government is dishonouring
agreements. Our members are resolved to pursue this to a logical
conclusion."
He stated, "Dear members, stay calm and remain resolute.
There is nothing wrong in asking government to do what it says it will
do immediately. ASUU is not making any new demands as the supervising
minister is propagating. Government is only repeating a 'one act play'
scripted by the IBB dictatorship in early 90s. It didn't work then, and,
it won't work now. All branches are intact. We cannot be intimidated,"
he said.
