The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has dismissed media reports saying that it was planning to emback on a one week warning strike. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reported yesterday that the chairman of the university of Abuja chapter of ASUU, Ben Ugheoke, is saying that will be going on a week warning strike on October 2nd in other to press home for the full implementation of 2009 agreement which they had with the Federal government.
In an interview with Premiumtimes today, Ugheoke debunked the earlier report, said he never made such comment in an interview he granted a NAN reporter.
“A certain reporter in NAN is responsible for this damage. As a result of this falsified report, I am facing a panel later tonight from ASUU National body. I have reached out to the NAN reporter and he told me it was a mix-up. He also begged me to save his job. We have never given a date for any form of strike, whether warning strike or full blown strike. There was nothing like a date fixed for a strike” he said.
Ugheoke says he hopes the agency will release a rebuttal to the false report soon.
