, Ebonyi State University chapter, to call off its warning strike and return to their classrooms.
The lecturers had last week embarked on a strike which they tagged ‘active non-compliance strike action’. “Our work has so many facets. We render community services; we do research as well as teaching. So, we downed tools on teaching while we carry out our duties in the areas of research and community services, that is what we mean by active noncompliance,” he explained.
“The Governor noted that he has personally intervened on the affairs and welfare of ASUU workers in the State and only last year, a total of 1.5 Billion naira has been paid to ASUU by Ebonyi State Government for the accumulative demand of ASUU from the past administration,” the statement said.
The governor, however, warned that it would hold Mr Igwenyi responsible if there is break down of law and order in the institution.
