EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Trade Union Congress (TUC) has appealed to the striking university lecturers to shift ground in their demands by making some concessions so that students can return to school.
Mr Monday Ogbodum, Cross River chapter Chairman of the TUC, appealed on Tuesday, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Calabar.
Ogbodum said the Academy Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) had “clearly” made their points known to the world with the prolonged strike and advised the government not to always allow issues to degenerate to strike before taking action.
The labour leader further added that government should always put a human face to its action or inaction in dealing with labour unions, to avoid prolonged industrial action in the country.
He noted that the peculiarity of university education was such that strikes should not be allowed as an option for agitation or meeting the needs of workers.
