Lecturers in the nation’s public universities vowed to continue with their indefinite strike, declaring that President Goodluck Jonathan’s decision to withhold their salaries would not stop their resolve to ensure the university system is made better once and for all.
On comments by the leadership of NANS that the students were no longer supporting the strike, Chup said those making the call were “political and mercenary students.”
“The NANS that say they do not support us are the mercenary students. They are the political, non-matriculated students. Our genuine students do understand the issues that warranted the strike, and are fully in our support.”
He said government officials are only interested in awarding contracts in universities where they will benefit and not the quality of input and output in the higher institutions.
