 Delta State University, Delsu in Abraka, has backed out of the ongoing academic sub-union of universities strike as the institution's management also directed the students to immediately return for academic activities. A statement released after the 183rd regular meeting of Delsu's Senate posted on the official Twitter handle of the institution's vice chancellor, Professor Andy Egunenga stated that the approved academic calendar would be strictly followed and that all undergraduate and postgraduate students were to return to campus with immediate effect. Recall that the vice chancellor had stated that Delsu joined the ASU strike in solidarity. Earlier I spoke with Professor Godwin Demaki as the chairman of Delta State University ASU. First and foremost, we do not join the strike. ASU Delsu has been a component of the academic sub-union of universities of Nigeria. The union, we have one ASU. The essence of branches is city for administrative companies. So that does not mean to not arrive. So the strike is binding on our branches including Delsu, Abraka, Abraka is the national body of the chapter and the strike is not intended to last longer except that governments are deaf and dumb. Otherwise we don't intend to keep the students that are our children at home longer than necessary. In the union, the academic staff only withdrew their services, that they will strike in total and they have withdrawn their services because governments have defaulted in signing and implementing the 2009 negotiated ASU agreement. Now the issue of calling ASU is not subject to the university. ASU does not have the power to close an university or call back to them. And besides, the university does not have the authority to call up the strike that it will not declare. The strike was declared by ASU. News updates.
