ASUU: University parents forum form union to prevent future strike

In a bid to prevent future strike actions by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, a body comprising of the University parents  Forum Association has formed a group known as Coalition of Parents, Professionals and all well-meaning Nigerians (CPOSONU)

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reached out to the convener of the forum, Jerry Okundaye and he said the objective is to set up a forum where everyone involved can come together to discuss ways that the Nigerian public Universities can move forward, tackle its problems, fix challenges by other means rather than resorting to embarking on strike actions.

”The immediate objective of CPOSONU is to form a Coalition of Parents, Professionals and all well meaning Nigerians to avert the looming strike action that may arise as a result of the current disagreement between Government and ASUU over the payment of salary. This will be too much to swallow after 8 months of strike action in our universities.

“As you may have known, the power play by Government and ASUU touches on the destinies our youths and that of our nation in Sour and negative manner.
” Therefore, we call on all well meaning Nigerians who love Education, our Youths and our Fatherland, Nigeria, to join the CPOSONU WhatsApp Platform for us to chart a new course for our Education, our Youths and nation, Nigeria. Enough of this play and drama with our children”
