ASUU Strike: Obasanjo accused government of signing agreement without full consultation
Following the ongoing by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the former president of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo has blamed the government for signing agreements they can’t reach.
Obasanjo made this known when speaking at a book launch in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital. He blamed the late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua’s administration for entering certain demands made by ASUU.

“Government allows itself to be stampeded into signing agreement particularly when one group or the other withdraws their service and go on strike.
“After the agreement has been signed, without full consultation within government, and implementation becomes an issue.
“But an agreement is an agreement whoever the agent is that signed that agreement on your behalf, you are bound by it.
“You may now have to renegotiate to have a new agreement but the agreement earlier signed remains an agreement.
“The universities teachers go on strike, there is an agreement; doctors go on strike, there will be a special agreement.
“And when the universities teachers see that the agreement reached with the doctors is different from theirs, they again go on strike and this is bad for our economy,” he added.
