THE Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige has dismissed as baseless and dishonest, the statement by the University of Jos Chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), led by Dr. Maigoro, that he (Ngige) is responsible for the prolonged nationwide strike by the Union.
Rather, the minister blamed ASUU for the prolonged strike, as the union had totally refused to go back to work and reciprocate government offers.
He said: “It is rather ASUU which has bluntly refused to reciprocate the Federal Government offers by refusing to either teach, conduct research or engage in other academic values for which they are paid, that should be held responsible.
