ASUU: Osodeke Accuses Ngige Of Telling Lies To Buhari

Mohammed Oluwatimileyin Taoheed reports,

The President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, has accused Senator Chris Ngige of lying to President Muhammadu Buhari about the status of negotiations with the union.

Note that Chris Ngige, as a federal minister, heads the Nigerian Ministry of Labour.

While having an interview this Thursday concerning the unending ASUU strike, Osodeke claimed that Ngige must have been feeding the President with bogus information.

In his words, if President Buhari had been getting the truth about the negotiations between the union and the government, he wouldn’t have issued the ‘enough is enough’ statement in which he charge the striking University lecturers to return to work.

Also, Osodeke added that the figures the government is peddling as what ASUU is demanding are not true, stating that they didn’t give such figures during their negotiations.
